standalone server is a pure perl HTTP server that you can use to play with
RT. Go with apache in production.

standalone is perfect in development, one command line and server is up and
running, no need to configure apache. RT core developers use it all the
time.

no.

Yes, you can. Standalone server by default start on higher port. I wouldn't
recommend to use production as play ground. It's so easy to  pick wrong
configuration and start playing with production DB without noticing.

More context on this question, please.

6. Are there any step-by-step walkthroughs out there that are clearer than

Have you read http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/latest/web_deployment.html ?
