Yes, the mails end up in groups of your choice.
For example, I have

    /home/incal/Mail/mail/misc/
    /home/incal/Mail/mail/sent/

and a couple more.

The mails end up as mostly ASCII text files,
one file for each mail, and as long as you
stick to the basic encodings, which should
always be stuck to, these files are as easy as
any to operate with your entire range of tools.

(Not that you *have* to. You can just use Gnus
to read them, reply to them, and later on
review them whenever you like.)

Not that I'm aware of. I'm on Raspbian,
a Debian fork, and before that, on Debian.

On the whole, I think the rule of thumb is, use
nnml unless you know a specific reason not to.
