I was also going to the mail archive, and the way I understandit is that LyX
will detect the system language and adjust GUI accordingly, however in my
case, the system language was in English, my IP address Korean, the only
Japanese setting I had was in 'Language to display non-unicode characters'
in. So, why did the installer decide on Japanese in the first place?

The detection of the system language is not always correct. This depends on the OS. On Windows it should work because this OS uses a special code for the system language that the LyX installers can read from the registry. Besides this the LyX for Winows installers will ask you what GUI language you want to use.

In general you can change LyX's GUI language at any time in the LyX preferences.

In your case the problem is that the Korean GUI translation is incomplete and thus by default disabled. So you should intrinsically get an English GUI instead of Japanese.
(These are the GUI languages LyX supports: http://www.lyx.org/I18n )

-Problem 1) I am working in South Korea, I have language sets for my PC set
to enable both Korean and Japanese, but why did the install package choose
to be in Japanese? what would happen if I am Korean, for example, with
absolutely no knowledge of Japanese?

What is your OS? I cannot reproduce your problems using my alternative LyX for 
Windows installer.
