Yes; it is the default, and I have left it on.

No.

No.

I find the default helpful because it makes the cursor maximally
conspicuous.  I think I would like it to blink a little faster.  I
wish I could make the Windows mouse pointer blink too; I continually
lose it.

No.

I never have >1 frame visible.
