Yes, that's correct, you can move the %s. Please read the instructions
here:

Yes.

Yes, that's true, and one shortcoming of the web-based version. Once
the beta is released,
you'll be able to verify your translation in the context of the Koha

your own installation), and make any needed corrections before the
stable release is pushed
out on 1 March.
