1. The primary difference between ANY distro is the package selection and desktop environment and yes that is where the primary difference between lubuntu and ubuntu resides. 2. Yes you can install any environment( *box) you like. 3. I have never looked at the contents of the metapackage/core packages you were asking about so i would assume you would have to dig further for that information.
Lubuntu aims to use a tremendously less amount of resources while still retaining stability and energy saving. So to say it is "just package differences" is a bit underestimating the abilities of the distro.
