A few questions about home and application screens

Hi, I have a few questions about home and application screens. By default, there are 7 home screens. Whenever I install a new application, an icon appears on the Application screen. So far, besides the icons Samsung put on the home screens, only Dolphin Browser HD and its affiliated voice recognition app (like siri) appear both on the Application and home screens.

Q1: In the case of personal computer, we have an icon for each application. We can also create an alias that could be put on the desktop. Are those icons on the home and application screens alias to the actual applications?

Q2: Whenever I tap on Gallery, I see icons such as: Camera (76), Camera (19), external_sd (2), ScreenCapture (12), Videos (1).

a. How come there are two folders that are named exactly the same (Camera)?

b. I like the fact that Galaxy Note displays a preview of all the photos. When I tap on a photo, it is enlarged. Is there any way to display the name of the file at the same time?

Q3: I am considering to install and try out various 3D launchers. Do these launchers modify any system settings? Some of them have widgets that perform similar functions as the stock ones. Are they independent from the ones pre-installed on the Note? Alternatively, do they just use the settings from the corresponding pre-installed widgets with added eye-candy look?
I want to try out different launchers but I do not want to mess up with the stock launcher's settings. I may end up preferring the stock launcher.

Thanks.
