Yes

2. Will the server pause the game when no one is logged in?

There's a setting for that

3. How saves are being handled on a server instance, can I still manually save?

The same as your single player world: Autosaves at regular intervals, unless you turn them off. You can still manually save, but note that your client's save button will create a save on your local computer. To manually save on the server you need to use a command (/serversave I believe, if not, check /help).

The wiki also has quite a bit of useful information, for example https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer has some sections about hosting.

Can this blueprint be parameterized to select a T3 module and fill the assemblers and chest with the relevant ingredients? If so, how do I select the correct ingredients? Using "ingredient of" frequently sets the assemblers to red/blue circuits instead of the lower-tier module.
