In that case, yes, which is why you never see that case. But
notes1 segno ||: notes2 :|| dal segno would be:
notes1 notes2 notes2 notes2

Yes.

Never seen that. It ends at the end. But the accidental omission of
the fine is not rare.

Yes.

D.C. or D.S al Coda The
coda looks like a gunsight, and it means that you skip to the next
gunsight, which begins the Coda. (means Cauda, tail)
Don't use a segno for a coda sign. It has been done rarely, and
it is confusing.

Never seen it unabbreviated.

Yes.
If so: What's

D.S. al fine. But often the al fine is omitted, because you have
already seen the fine when you get to the D.S.

You need to know that after taking a D.S or D.C., repeat signs and
first endings (alternatives) are ignored, and the 2nd ending is played,
unless there is a third.
An illegal workaround is to have a 1.3. alt and a 2.4. alt. Another
is "D.C. with repeat".
