detector classification is done by checking whether the detector has any
predecessor or successor edges. This works for networks that are cut after
at the motorway  ramps (on ramps would be sources and off-ramps would be
sinks).

flow files use minutes (this is for historical reasons because these files
used to come from a highway authority in that format). everything else in
SUMO uses seconds

yes

You could use routeSampler.py instead of DFROUTER or flowrouter.py. This
avoids the need for detector classification and has a number of other
advantages. See https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Tools/Turns.html#routesamplerpy
as well as
