Yes. "branches/default", and "branches/stable".

Yes.

If it's named "bug-fix" it's created as a bookmark, if it's named
"branches/bug-fix", it's created as a branch.
But since Git has the notion of refspecs, you can choose on the fly:
git push origin bug-fix:branches/bug-fix

No. I stopped working on git-remote-hg for a while, and topics came afterward.
I haven't investigated how to implement them, but it would be nice.
