It sounds as if you're pretty much on top of it to me. Your questions are
spot on.

No, it leaves them in the same directory.
What you describe is what "make install" would normally do. Maybe I should
have a make install, but I don't. But you can move them after compiling (as
long as the various locations in analhead.h were set correctly).

No. What happens is that if these things don't occur in analog.cfg, the
default you specified in analhead.h is used. Arguably the Unix version
shouldn't include these in analog.cfg at all so that the default in
analhead.h can shine through. But I found that people didn't set them in
analhead.h and then got even more confused how to change them.

Default on Unix is to send it to standard output. You can send it to a file
with the OUTFILE command in analog.cfg, or just by redirecting standard
output with ">" (e.g. analog > file.html).
