Only answering your third question:

You mentioned later other faces of that font, e.g. Medium.
You can (and should) map *all* faces in that first typescript if you  
intend to use them later.
(With big families that may be around 50 faces.)

Beware, if you write typescripts for XeTeX/luaTeX, you must define if  
your "font name" is the "screen name" (aka PostScript name) or the  
file name: [file:GaramondPremrPro] vs. [name:Garamond Premier Pro]


If you write typescripts for pdfTeX (mkII), you should give a third  
argument that defines the encodings that the font supports, like:
\starttypescript	[serif]	[urw-antiqua]	[ec,texnansi,qx,t5]
	\definefontsynonym	[URWAntiquaT-Regu]	[\typescriptthree-u003003t]	 
[encoding=\typescriptthree]

The file name is here in fact the name of the tfm file!

(I hope I don't tell you something deprecated here...)

There are some more keywords:
SerifOldstyle (numbers only), SerifCaps, SerifBoldCaps
You can also define your own variants like this:
\definefontvariant [Serif] [shadow] [Shadow] % use with \Var[shadow]

If you defined a big family in your first typescript you can use this  
setup for different four-member sub-families:

% serif urw-antiqua (normal)
\starttypescript	[serif]	[urw-antiqua]	[name]
%\usetypescript	[serif]	[urw-antiqua]	[\defaultencoding]
	\definefontsynonym	[Serif]		[URWAntiquaT-Regu]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifSlanted]	[URWAntiquaT-ReguObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifItalic]	[URWAntiquaT-ReguObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBold]	[URWAntiquaT-Bold]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBoldSlanted]	[URWAntiquaT-BoldObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBoldItalic]	[URWAntiquaT-BoldObli]
\stoptypescript

% serif urw-antiqua (normal bold)
\starttypescript	[serif]	[urw-antiqua-bold]	[name]
\usetypescript	[serif]	[urw-antiqua]	[\defaultencoding]
% different name, so you must load it explicitely!
% or:
% \setups	[font:fallback:serif]
	\definefontsynonym	[Serif]		[URWAntiquaT-Medi]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifSlanted]	[URWAntiquaT-MediObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifItalic]	[URWAntiquaT-MediObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBold]	[URWAntiquaT-ExtrBold]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBoldSlanted]	[URWAntiquaT-ExtrBoldObli]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBoldItalic]	[URWAntiquaT-ExtrBoldObli]
\stoptypescript

I.e. such a "name" typescript defines the related faces for the  
simple style commands (\tf, \bf, \it, \sl etc.)

I mostly map slanted and italic to the same italic face. But it's a  
matter of taste.

You can also do it this way:
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifSlanted]		[SerifItalic]
	\definefontsynonym	[SerifBoldSlanted]	[SerifBoldItalic]

For families with "unusual" faces like plain/shadow/outline or  
regular/sketchy/mixedcase I "abuse" these predefined styles to access  
all available faces.

Find a sample attached.

In this last step you define your "font clan" to map \rm, \ss and \tt  
(and math) together.
Even if I provide a sample in my typescripts, I nearly always define  
a new "clan" in my environment file.

E.g.
\usetypescriptfile	[type-enc]
\usetypescriptfile	[type-klein-delitsch]
\loadmapfile	[\defaultencoding-klein-delitsch.map]

\starttypescript[fiee][liederheft]
	\usetypescript [serif] [schoolbook] [\defaultencoding]
	\usetypescript [handwriting] [delitsch] [\defaultencoding]
	\usetypescript [handwriting] [delitsch] [name]
	\definetypeface	[liederheft]	[rm]	[serif]	[schoolbook]	[default]	 
[encoding=\defaultencoding]
	\definetypeface [liederheft] [ss] [sans]  [default][default]  
[encoding=ec]
	\definetypeface [liederheft] [tt] [mono]  [default][default]  
[encoding=ec]
	\definetypeface [liederheft] [hw] [handwriting]  [delitsch][default]  
[encoding=\defaultencoding]
\stoptypescript

Perhaps not a good example, because I don't need sans, mono and math  
here. But it shows how to define the additional handwriting (hw) or  
calligraphy (cg) fonts.

The third argument of \definetypeface takes different setups, often a  
relative scaling factor to make the different fonts appear at the  
same size like here:

\definetypeface [postscript] [tt] [mono]  [courier]   [default]  
[rscale=1.1]
