New user several questions

Context: I am trying to find a flashcard program that I like. Unfortunately 
none of them are quite up to my tastes but I am debating whether to program my 
own, (which would take lots of time) or use one that already exists. If I were 
to use one that exists though I think I would lean on Mnemosyne. 

Question one: As a test I imported 5 blank flashcards and did not review them I 
simply chose '2' rating for each one. My question is how come mnemosyne sets 
some cards to be reviewed 'tomorrow', and other cards to be reviewed in 'two 
days' when they were given the same exact rating?

Question two: Is there a feature that would allow me to go to the next day? One 
of the reasons I dislike most programs out there, is that it seems (from 
reading documentation) that they consider 'days' to be the factor of when the 
next time of review should be. That seems kind of clunky. If I go on vacation 
for a week I don't want to come back to a program that decided to combine all 
the cards from the week I missed in one session. Instead of 'days' I would 
rather look at each time I open the program as 'sessions' So instead of in two 
days, i can wait two sessions however long that may be, whether it's two hours 
apart of two months. Is this a feature in Mnemosyne? (Is this a feature 
anywhere?)

Question three: If each 'day/session' i were to rate a card a '2' would I 
expect to see this card every two days for the rest of my life or will it add 
exponentially? (ex. Each comma represents a 'session': every two days: +2, +2, 
+2, +2, +2 vs exponential +2, +3, +4, +5) If it is the former how does it 
calculate a '5' rating?

Basically I would prefer a leitner system but those programs that use a leitner 
system aren't time configuerable. (They are hard coded to do whatever exponent 
the program wanted for himself, I can't say, enter my own leitner equation) So 
I am wondering what the pattern of review cards would look like since that 
isn't clear. You can ignore this last paragraph, I'm not sure I am expressing 
myself properly.
