1. Yes
2. Green. Yellow is part of the negative scheme used in print (CMYK)
3.

  16-bit color uses 2 distinct schemes : 5-5-5 (5 bits Red, 5 bits Green,
5 bits Blue, 1 bit wasted - this is called sometimes 32k colors) and
5-6-5 (64k colors, "High Color").

  32-bit adds 8 bits for alpha channel (translucency). Not used currently
by any O.S. but already used in high-end graphics. Just imagine
half-transparent Windows Explorer :)
