Yes.

Yes.

It is used to separate environments. You can do it using
Edit > Start New Environment, but you don't need using the menu.
You start a "Problem" environment and write something. If you want
to start a new "Problem" environment, hit the "Enter" key and go to a
standard environment, hit again the "Enter" key and LyX automatically
inserts a parbreak separator. Now you can start any other environment.

The parbreak separator will insert a blank line in the latex output.
If you don't want that, use the context menu to change it to a plain
separator. This kind of separators are automatically inserted when
needed in a hopefully intuitive way. If you hit "Enter" in a standard
environment after a non-standard one, you get a separator and you
are ready to insert again the same non-standard environment.

The small arrow you see, plays the same role of the old --Separator--
and behaves in the same way, because it leaves a blank line in the latex
output. However, now you can also avoid that blank line by turning the
parbreak into a plain separator.

Don't know about this one.
