Your points breakdown will be on DA 5016 as well

To qualify for a 20-year active duty retirement, you would need 7,200 points as this translates to 20 years of service (For USAR)

You go through the MEB for the "referred" disability, but are evaluated in it's entirety and receive ratings from the VA for all Disabilities and a rating for your service injury under DoD

Best advice is to roll with the punches, get very familiar with what folks on this site have experienced and if you come across something you need help clarifying, this site will likely get you the answer you're looking for (can't guarantee its the answer you want to hear) but it's an answer.

The decision of being moved from TDRL to PDRL lies with the Doctor at the time of your re-evaluation

You should be able to include ANY ailments/injuries/issues you have incurred while in service, the examiner will then make the determination if the aforementioned will/should warrant a rating.

Those claims will likely be re-evaluated as well. I recommend letting someone know the status of that appeal.

Your current rating will not be "deleted" while in the MEB, however you will likely go through an entire evaluation (to include what you're currently rated for" and you will either remain at your current rating, receive a decrease or an increase.

You will be waiting for some time.
