Correct.

2. sync again: I guess it will anyway only track bookmarks, annotatatons etc.? it is up to me to manually put the same sideloaded books on both devices I assume. and do bookmarks etc for side loads even sync anyway or is that only for kobo store bought books ? Are reading stats synced/ merged ?

Correct again. Only information about the purchased kepubs being read is synced to the Kobo server. Nothing about any sideloaded books is synced.
The information synced is reading status and bookmarks/annotations.

3. Upgrades: I read lots about the frequent & not always welcomed firmware changes to kobo readers, but how often if at all do they upgrade the android tablet app ?
4. I do see some differences between tablet app & e-reader e.g. on the aura e-reader for a sideloaded epub I see page numbering based on entire book, but on the tablet I see pages remaining in current chapter. In both cases I see no way to toggle that setting ?

On the Aura, there is a way to turn off the page pre chapter feature for kepubs, but not the other way round

5. does anyone know how kobo manage app upgrades to tablets - either to their own Kobo arc or to other makes - to they push out upgrades automatically
|
The iOS app gets updated automatically. I assume Kobo handle the Android app/device in the same way.

6. I assume the likelihood of amazon ever adding the kobo app to the amazon app store is nil ? Are there threads/discussions/petitions anywhere re this ?

I think you are right there
For the rest of the Android questions, I'd look in either the "Kobo Tablets" or the Android sub-forum.
