No you didn't understand correctly. A master page can contain the same 
elements as a normal page. The difference is you can't edit items on master 
page once you applied the master page to a normal page.

Yes and no. If you're working with 1.3.4  (which I wouldn't recommend), you 
may want to explore the possibilities of "Insert > Frame".

Why would you want to change each page of a chapter? One left and one right 
page for each chapter, including page numbers, are sufficient.

No, master pages ;)
