False.  Resilver just rebuilds a drive in a vdev based on the
redundant data stored on the other drives in the vdev.  Similar to how
replacing a dead drive works in a hardware RAID array.

No.

No.

ZFS doesn't currently have a defragmenter.  That will come when the
legendary block pointer rewrite feature is committed.
