Yes.

snmpd can send informs, not receive them.  snmptrapd is what can receive
informs (from anything that generates them, including snmpd and
snmpinform).

snmpinform will wait for the remote receiver (snmptrapd) to acknowledge
that it received it before exiting.

It'll exit with a 1 if it failed to get the inform to its destination.

No, it will log it twice.

no, which is exactly why it doesn't assume that it's a duplicate.
