Modification. The common interpretation is that rooting includes modification.

Sometimes they do. That's why they take your address when you return the thing. 'To prevent fraud.'

No, not at all (otherwise you'd have to make the OTA update each time you reset the thing). There is another kind of reset that sometimes pops up if you're getting into states far off documented ways, which will reapply a system image that is in the recovery partition. It's a pretty tight spot and took me 20 minutes this morning to get there. If I recall correctly, the sequence was something like power - power 2 seconds - power - volume down, but I'm not even sure it's the sequence or if it really just powered up and down there and started panicking.
