Hub&spoke vs Mesh is independent from /112.
Otherwise, yes, a CE always derives its IPv4 address when it receives a /112 
matching the default mapping rule.

Yes, by setting the ToBR bit.

I think so.

Well, an ISP has assigned that has assigned fixed IPv4 addresses, and wants to 
keep them while moving to IPv6-only routing needs, one way or another, to 
reflect IPv4 routes in IPv6.

It is useful for ISPs that have this use case, even if there aren't many, and 
in any case creates no harm for others.
It is a way to encourage IPv6 routing for ISPs that don't want to maintain DS 
routing.
