Quite simply, there is no "Relief Pilot" slot in AF crews : the two F/Os should be fully qualified for all phases. F/Os were flying from Right seat at the time of AF447... but after that point it changed and Left seat training was also implemeted for F/Os.

That would be just below the MCL detent (slightly less than 30deg TLA), probably around 84% N1.
More likely above 95% N1 depending on ISA.
I'll post later the tables for cruise at Mach 0.80 & 0.82 @ ISA +10, +15, +20.
