3) The best is to read the user guide but for the properties : http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Properties_Processing
plugin.jelly is the plugin code so it is independant of any project / user setting. The variable whitch are use by the plugin are redefine in your properties files. 4) maven.username can be in a properties file too (the best is in $HOME/build.properties) so you didn't have to add the -Dmaven.username every time you need it.
