Yes.

No. Server tells first client to give up the oplock. This is
the moment when the client OS issues all the cached lock
requests actually to the server. Then the first client tells
the server it has given up the oplock. The second client
gets the open handle. From now on, all further locks are
registered with the server, even if the second client closes
the file again.

That's Level 2 oplocks. These are valid for files that are
only open for read from all clients. No locking is required
here anyway.
