Yup. Well, technically, all it means is that you can feed the bounces
to any program that behaves like qmail-queue, so you could also tell
it to use qmail-qmqpc (to use QMQP).

Yup. (You don't really need a patch to get that behavior, though---a
wrapper script can do the same thing, albeit with a small performance
cost.)

It's entirely up to you. The efficiency of using QMQP versus SMTP may
not be much of a gain for your setup (the bandwidth between your
servers is probably not much of a bottleneck), or it may be crucial.
