Macs window coordinates use a DPI-independent unit so windows don't change size as you move across screens with different DPI. The backing store for a window is resized when the majority of the window moves to a different screen.

The same as Windows, except that OS X will refuse to render a window that is half-way between two monitors (unless it's currently being moved, in which case it just uses raster scaling). It will hide the window in every monitor except the one where most of its area is.

Not necessarily... Turn off "Displays have separate spaces" in the Mission Control preferences to have the traditional window-everywhere behavior.
