This is explained in the JMeter FAQ - or rather, this has a link entitled [OROMatcher User's guide] which leads to Perl5 regular expressions where you will find a section on Perl5 extended regular expressions.
I think this should work: (?i)<STATUS_ID>(.*?)<\/STATUS_ID> (I've added the non-greedy operator) JMeter knows that the contents of the field is a regular expression, so does not need the enclosing // which tell Perl that it is an RE. This means that the trailing "i" has to be passed in using the extended syntax (which also works in Perl, so you can test it there).

No 2. No 3. See above! There's some information on Regular Expressions in the JMeter FAQ. * means repeat the previous item one or more times. You probably mean .* Better would be .*? to make the match not greedy.
