Not necessarily but it is a good and clean way to proceed. You can have a "tools" file and put them in there also.

Yes, keep the empty .js file, it is loaded by default so if you don't put it you will get warning messages about it not being there.

If you don't want to explicitly expose the tests to the users you can leave them in the test file. In fact you can leave them there even if you do expose the results to the user.

The composer files are for automated installs of a sequence of modules. The normal application install just ignores the file. That is for advanced deployment of verticalizations. I think you can safely ignore that file for your current needs but it easy to fill in and doesn't hurt.

Yes, correct.

I don't think the Settings functionality is documented anywhere. It is rather simple: you define a few entries in an array that indicate the icon, title description and file to execute. coreBOS will add the "hammer" settings icon and paint the box for you. When the admin user clicks on the link he will be redirected to the link you indicated, from there on it is all yours, do whatever you need to do.

Start by looking at the existing code. For example I uploaded yesterday our Confidential Information module that has two custom Settings sections:
