I agree that the wording is a bit unfortunate, and not really appropriate
for unlearned cards. I'll see if I can address this in a future release
without sacrificing performance in the browser too much.

Yes. For more details, see here: http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm

It is for information only, and does not affect the scheduling.

There is no appropriate number, you yourself are the judge as to how long
you want to continue study new cards, depending on your energy level, etc..

It's a rolling over limit. Say e.g. you have set that number to 3 and start
learning cards A, B and C. As soon as you memorise e.g. card C, Mnemosyne
will a new card D to the queue.

Urgent means in most risk of forgetting, i.e. those with the shortest
interval.
