No. Puppet server listens on port 8140.

That's not a task for Puppet, but for NIS or LDAP. If you want identical
G-/UIDs on all systems, do centralized account management. However,
Puppet could do the LDAP server setup for you, I guess ;)

Store your modules/manifests/hiera in one or more GIt repositories. You
can then clone it/them once for each environment and check out different
branches.

Yes.

That depends on your needs. However, IF you do, you could use templates,
and fill the placeholders with hiera data depending on the environment.
Or you could use sudoers snippets (stored in /etc/sudoers.d/) and only
put those in place which fit the actual environment. You can also put
host-dependent rules into your sudoers file, so that you can rollout the
same file to all hosts regardless (see: man 5 sudoers).
