There is no 1:1 mapping between files in S3QL and storage objects in
S3. A single file can be spread between multiple objects, and an object
can hold data for multiple files. You should treat the contents of the
bucket as a black-box.
To give an analogy: if you open a .jpg file in a text editor, you
wouldn't expect to see the picture (even if it contained some text). So
if you open an S3QL file system in some generic S3 browser, you're not
going to see your file system contents.

Same reason.

You should be able to answer that question yourself now :-).
