Yes, it's always on.

No

No.

I have found a (setq blink-cursor-interval 0.8) setting as more
comfortable than the default 0.5

I typically have 3+ frames running, but they overlap like stacked
pieces of paper with slight offsets of the top-left corner coordinate;
therefore mostly the top frame is visible.

To be honest, I don't notice the blinking that much (but blinking is nice
to locate a cursor on a large, cluttered monitor), as I'm usually
cycling between frames, buffers, or typing vs. staring at a static
buffer.
