In general, the types of properties are dictated by `org-bibtex-types',
which is declaring Bibtex standards. With C-u argument, you will be
asked for optional properties.

If you want to add non-standard properties, org-set-property will work.

Yes. Either exact, or prefixed with `org-bibtex-prefix'. Mixing
with/without prefix will also work.

See also `org-bibtex-export-arbitrary-fields'.

You can create a template by adding `org-bibtex-create'
to :hook property of your capture template:

(setq org-capture-templates '(("a" "test" entry (file "/tmp/1.org") "" :hook 
org-bibtex-create)))
