No.

Neither.

That's right, but it was defined differently then. When lexical-binding
appeared, it made it possible to re-implement apply-partially
differently so as to avoid the problem of name-capture. That's the code
in use now. At that time, subr.el was not yet using lexical-binding, so
I did not just use a "normal closure".

No.
