Dist-upgrade makes major changes to your system, updating dozens of
packages, and pointing the OS at different APT repos.
Yes, but only if you've changed the codename in your sources.list
(or after a new release if you use the suite names).
Maybe I'm thinking of do-release-upgrade, then.
I am still not comfortable automating OS updates.
