1. Yes, you have this mostly correct. The only thing, technically, is that the 2 Williams studies are not setting the Left-Hand Scale, the one that is higher in the order for the region is the one that sets the scale. But since they are using the same scaling, the Left-Hand Scale will apply to both.

2. The best way to test if the scales are correct is to open the Tools Value Window and use the Crosshair to point to a particular bar, and verify that for each line at that bar that the value in the scale matches the value in the Tools Value Window. As long as the scales are set to exactly the same values, then they should all match up.

3. The "lowest rung" study will be whatever scale is defined for it, but may not display the way you want. The best thing to do is to either make that last study have a scale of Independent, or, if possible, use the same scaling as one of the other two studies.

4. Yes, you are correct. The right side scale is going to try and find the first study set to Automatic, and then will use whichever it finds first after that. Again, the order of the search is in the order of the studies in the list with the ones at the top coming first. As stated in #3, if you are not going to use the Left-Side scale, then you will need to determine the best way to display the other studies. If possible, use Automatic scaling, but if this does not work due to the range of the values, then you will need to consider setting the scale to Independent. Refer to the following information for setting the scale for all studies in a region:
