Depends on what you mean, if you mean can it be changed, then the answer 
is yes. If you mean can it be changed with samba-tool, then no.

Probably not.

Again probably not.

Yes

I don't think there is anything to do this at present. The main problem 
(as I see it) is that when you provision a domain, all the records are 
created for you, but when you join another DC, they are not. You have to 
start/restart samba and this then adds various dns records including the 
site ones.
