Too many questions for a Sunday waking up! All it means is that the default setting of the config file in the rpm is run level 3 - the rpm has no way in hell of knowing what you want, so it has a safe default of run level 3 in its configuration. When you install the OS and decide to have a gui login, anaconda changes the default runlevel to 5. The inittab in the rpm is flagged %config(noreplace) - which tells rpm not to overwrite your current config file with the default, so it creates a .rpmnew file instead - allowing you to examine the stock config file should you choose.
