No. If you have sorted by author then the order is Author, Title, Series. If shown, the date string is line 4.

Then the next three rows are the user defined ones

Is this correct? If so, I think its great.
Yes, this is correct

3 questions.

1) if a user doesn't define any fields for a container, then there will not be a blank line. Correct? But if a row has a field that it empty for that book, there will be a blank line. Correct?
Mostly yes, and no.

Lines 1 and 3 consume no space if there is nothing in them. Line two will consume space if either side has something in it.

Empty values are not displayed, even if in the middle of a group of fields. For example, if I put tags, rating, and author sort into the top box and if the book has no rating, only two lines will show.

EDIT: I know that people will want it so I went ahead I added the options to show empty items. My guess is that this is useful only if showing column names, but who am I to say?

2) I have turned off all my sort keys, so I don't care, but others might. Will the sort key be above the three containers or below?
Above.
