This actually depends on the kernel you are using. Do you have relatively new kernel or an old one? Depending on that, either you will get that information in a board file or else in the device tree in arch/arm/boot/dts.
I'll reply more thoroughly later, but I wanted to address this question. We're targeting kernel 3.14.x
This depends. If you have driver compiled in with the kernel this will happen on kernel boot up. If you have the driver as a loadable module, the probe hook will be called on modprobe or insmod.
Is this an answer to question 5? I think there is some confusion with the "probe" terminology. I meant "probe" as in "read the current value". I think you mean "probe" as in "the driver probes for the device through the probe method." I meant to ask how often the hwmon framework "polls" the temperature sensor.
