It is just a path to a unix domain socket.  You don't need to remember it.  
It's set by launchd to a randomized, secure location.

Yes, it means use the /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 socket and screen 0.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

a) :0 is the same as :0.0
b) That shouldn't be the DISPLAY set by launchd.  It might be the DISPLAY 
chosen by xinit, but you should not be setting DISPLAY manually anywhere.
