Yes, the Net-SNMP implementation does these (as every v3/USM
implementation should).

The users need to be recreated on an engineID change.  Generally because
of this you should never want to change the engineID.  engineID changes
are simply a pain, so try to avoid it.

Yes.

That's always a safe thing to do no matter whether using v3 msgIDs or
the PDU's request-id.
