1.) Only the actual horizon should be assigned as a "horizontal
line" (unless you just want some line, or the average of some lines, to be straight and at the horizontal center (equator) of the panorama) because the horizon line is the only latitudinal line that lies upon a great circle line (the equator.)

Yes, for spherical panoramas. Horizontal lines can also be useful for removing perspective from façades of buildings, but only when you are using rectilinear projection for the output.

What about equirectangular or cylindrical (or Mercator)?

In these projections the only features in the scene that will be horizontal in the output image are: the horizon at sea, or features of circular buildings (so long as you are standing in the exact centre of the building).
