1) No, it will use the same license as your active server

2) If by "in real time" you mean "continuously in an ongoing basis" then yes. Obviously the data takes time to travel between the active and standby, and it also takes some time to be written to DB on the standby but those should be the only delays.

3) If your active goes offline and you make the standby active without converting the old-active to standby first then the old-active will need to be wiped and manually reconfigured before it can be used again.
