Generally true, but you can change the size at build time if needed.

Yes, that's how it works.

No, every app gets a fresh stack and heap at every startup.

It's not necessarily a single chunk, and you don't have access to such
objects anyway. The OS allocates memory for itself in the heap at various
times when your app is running. In addition, there is a separate fixed size
block of system globals that exists outside the heap at a certain fixed
address, but your code is not allowed to poke at this region of memory
either. You need to use documented APIs.

Are you trying to accomplish something specific here? If you post details,
you should get solutions that don't involve "hacking".
