Hello David,
I will try to give you some insight on question 3.....
After checking the GIS(Geographic Information Survey) Map I see now production near your minerals acreage.
This link is to the GIS Mapping System for the State of Texas:

The gas well(32477) to the South about 2 miles was drilled by Chesapeake and it was plugged on May 04, 2016
To the N/E of your minerals about 2 1/2 miles gas well(32484)is temporarily abandoned
Just to the N/E of well(32484) is well(32430) and it is producing. That is the nearest production I find.
