As Allie already pointed out, the connection center was designed for
this, and I can say that there is no problem for 8 accounts, which I
check periodically here at the office, at different intervals. It
works flawlessly.

No, the account check times are independant of each other. Sometimes
the conncetion center starts checking one account, and whil it is
still working, another account is added to the task list, as it is its
time. As I said, it works prefectly.

No, the password you have set to access the account in TB. If you tick
this box and you have set an account password, TB will still send any
mails in the Outbox, and check for mail, even if this account is not
"open", i.e. the password not keyed in by the current user. While the
new mails are downloaded, the current user cannot open the account
and thus not read the mails.
Purpose of this functionality: Imagine a family on dial-up. Mom or Dad
will downlaod all emails for all accounts in the morning, i.e. for all
members of the family, but everybody can be sure that M+D don't read
the emails from the boyfriends/girlfriends.
BUG: If the mail ticker is enabled for the password-protected account
and folder, the new mails will show up in the mailticker, and once you
have opnened a mail in the MT, you can navigate in the
password-protected account and read all the mails in the folder. I
guess the security does not go beyond family-level. ;-)
