I can’t answer all your questions, but I can address a couple based upon our son’s experiences.

I’m not sure about 3 and 4 year rates, but I suspect that may be true with some less demanding majors. My son had 39 hours of credit from AP. It’s allowing him to complete his engineering program in four years instead of a more traditional five years.

He’s not had any issues with scheduling classes. He ran into his first conflict for next fall (his third year). He had two mandatory classes that met at the same time and only one class was offer. It wasn’t a bring deal, he just had to juggle the order of taking some other classes.

The other classes can be whatever they want. I don’t think the requirement is to take 1-2 honor classes per quarter. If I recall correctly, all they had to take was 6 total honor classes as a minimum. This is to maintain the scheduling priority status. Graduating with honors has different requirements.
