Yes -- packets will still be encapsulated.

qt is a function in the Shorewall base library
(/usr/share/shorewall/lib.base). 'qt' stands for 'quite' which means
that the function runs a program and sends all output (STDOUT & STDERR)
to /dev/null.

They have no significance.

No. The output of "shorewall show tc" will show packet (and byte) counts
only.
