Yes.

No. The mount tables from the registry wouldn't be on the local client.

Yes. The other option is to execute Setup in an empty directory and
choose the install from local disk option. It wouldn't install anything
but the setup process would create the registry entries.

Yes.

No.

Just always execute the one from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and don't
worry about the most current version.
