Yes, it is typical for tape libraries, because there could happen
any condition/action during power down, so libraries have to learn
all information again.

Yes, if it is the only full slot (atleast learned without power
interruption, however all libraries should rescan their slots after
power up). I suppose that you have library with barcode reader.

List should return just list of full storage slots with volume names.

Usage: rc-chio-changer <changer-device> <cmd> [slot] [tape-device] [drive-index]

Commands (<cmd>):
  unload          Unloads a tape into the slot from where it was loaded.
  load <slot>     Loads a tape from the slot <slot> (1-based).
  list            Lists full storage slots.
  loaded          Gives slot from where the tape was loaded (0 = empty drive).
  slots           Gives number of available slots.

Example:
  rc-chio-changer /dev/ch0 load 1        Loads a tape from first slot 1.

Regards.
