Yes, you need to have Samba packages, capable of being setup as a DC, 
installed before you attempt to join a computer as a secondary DC

You only provision the first DC.

Yes.

Could be, but then again it could have been anything. I think I have 
probably said this before, but in my opinion, OpenChange will go nowhere 
until it doesn't care what version of Samba 4 is installed i.e. it is a 
fully self contained package.
