No. You copy the SysVol content from your Win DC manually (cp, or
whatever) to the SysVol share of your Samba DC.

Then you do the sysvolreset on the Samba DC, so that all ACLs on the
SysVol share are set to their defaults. If you Windows DC had on its
SysVol other ACLs, you can add/change them afterwards. But the
sysvolreset makes sure, that everything that is needed to work, will be
there.

Yes.

You can. But it won't sync the ACLs.
