That's correct.
You've configured access for encrypted requests only,
so an "authNoPriv" request will be rejected.

Yup - since the access control (VACM) settings now allow
unauthenticated requests, an "authNoPriv" request will be OK.

There's no mention of security levels in the USM tables.
You don't configure a user as "authPriv".  The security level
is associated with the *request*, not with the user.
