Rather than defining separate keys for those functions, I simply do
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
So whenever I kill something in Emacs, it also goes to the clipboard;
and whenever some other app puts something on the clipboard, it's
available to be yanked in emacs with C-y.

Yes -- it's just a convention. It's explained in the Emacs Lisp
Reference manual: (info "(elisp)Comment Tips")

Yes -- do C-h m in a buffer that's in the mode you're interested in.
(If you're considering a global binding as opposed to a mode-specific
one, choose a buffer that's in fundamental-mode).

No idea.

Mostly the latter. I prefer the add-to-list form, since it's simpler.

Great minds think alike :-)
