3) There is no practical distinction between process and thread in uClinux as there is in Windows world.
AFAIK:
Depending on the Arch there are "Linux Threads" or "Native Posix Threads". The appropriate type of threads will be created automatically by the pthread library on the same function call from the user.
Native Posix Threads are known to the OS as a well defined process/thread structure.
Linux Threads are not really known to the OS, which in fact handles them in the same way as processes (which seem to have flags if or if not to share address space). When a multiple "Linux Thread" process is created an additional process is used to take care of decently handling dying threads.
