Not one of your questions but info you might be interested in;
People (pilots/journo's/ pax) often say that reducing thrust for take-offs is to conserve fuel.They are wrong. A reduced thrust take-off uses more fuel than a full thrust take-off to reach cruise altitude. It often saves money...but not fuel. I find that interesting, please disregard if you find it boring
