Yes, that is correct.

Yes.

Yes, it can read MOBI but not KF8. There are also lesser used formats, such as Topaz.
The reason for the lack of KF8 is assumed to be because it is based on an outdated version of WebKit and Apple does not allow that within iOS apps. KCR is implemented in JavaScript and uses use native iOS HTML support instead.

By looking at the HTML content of the product web page. For these books it renders Look Inside using an iframe that gets its content from read.amazon.com, the website for Kindle Cloud Reader.
