The default tracker is at http://dttracker.debian.net:6969/ which I run.

There is a config option to set the tracker, which could be used if a
distribution wanted to use its own tracker.

No, unless the mirrors are out of date (which they can be). Peers
downloading from the same suite (stable/unstable/etc) and architecture
(i386/amd64/etc) should all be able to connect to each other. In
addition, if they're using the experimental 0.1.6 version, they should
be able to connect even if the mirror is out of date, and also to
download the arch:all packages even if they're using different archs.

No.
