What I know is:
1. Qouting systemd(1)

       For compatibility with SysV, if the binary is called
       as init and is not the first process on the machine
       (PID is not 1), it will execute telinit and pass all
       command line arguments unmodified. That means init and
       telinit are mostly equivalent when invoked from normal
       login sessions. See telinit(8) for more information.

2. systemd package has a telinit manual page.

I can only speculate about the answers to your other questions.
