indicate an MBR-style partitioned disk, containing one slice
("DOS primary partition") being formatted as a whole file system,
therefore /dev/ada1s1c is the correct device name, and as 'c' can
be omitted, /dev/ada1s1 is the device to mount.
Checking with the old-fashioned tools fdisk and bsdlabel, you
could have obtained the same information, but using gpart is
much easier (and also recommended today).

Correct.

No, it's the proper approach to mounting such a disk for read and
write operations. (If you only want to read from it, use "ro" instead
of "rw" in the option field.)
