It's generally the bookstore, yes. Occasionally it'll be the publisher, to clear out stock. No, the bookstore doesn't need permission.

Is anybody making money on the hardcover at $5.98?

Almost certainly not, no. But it's more money than they'll make from remaindering it.

Is the cheaper price a reward for removing the clutter of books from B&N and putting it my house?

Essentially, yes. The bookstore is clearing out surplus stock to make room for more books. That really doesn't apply to eBooks.
