dont really know how that info would be hard to find as there are about 100 threads discussing everything you asked. but basically it depends on if you get a benq or a hitachi 79. if its a benq its easy to flash, if its a hitachi 79, its a pain the a$$.

Hitachi 79, you can't mod without changing the chip. you should just return it and get another one.

they should.

If you are looking for a Falcon BenQ specifically, which it appears you are, you'd be best served physically going to a store and not buying online

Ehhh... I'd only do that as a last resort. Walking in to a store, you can check the mfr. date and get the newest one possible. Plus I'd look for the new 175 watt'ers. Never know what you're getting on line.
