Yes. It's actually a set (array) of profiles with any associated Job Template attributes (color mode, resolution, etc.) that might influence the profile that should be used.

Yes.

Right. And also that the Client can use the closest matching standard color space when generating raster - use sRGB for sRGB images and AdobeRGB for AdobeRGB images, but transform to AdobeRGB for some other RGB color space to give yourself the most headroom.
