-reordering specifies the reordering type,
-reordering-factors specifies the reordering factors.

If multiple options are given here, then mulitple tables are generated,
in fact all possible combinations. Typically you do not want so many
reordering tables, but the training and the decoder would support this.

No, all possible combinations are considered.

Yes, you can put here anything you want.
Moses supports it.

Yes. That's very intuitive, isn't it?

No, that's not possible. You can essentially turn it off by giving it weight 0.
