Can't answer most of your questions but I did want to say the diagram is great :)
As for question 3 the answers are Yes and Yes. I can also tell you that # of columns, % active, and perm inc and dec, were always being tweaked. There was no one 'right answer.' That lead to an automated outer loop to explore the space of possibile parameters. I believe Numenta intends to make this outer-loop available as part of the open source NuPIC code eventually, but you'll probably implement one yourself before then. :) I'd love to hear more about how you progress, keep us up to date!
