i think, recording at low level, you are kind of "loosing disc space".
lets say, if you are recording at 24bit, on low level the signal
information will take only 12 bit (example) and the rest of 12 bit
will be only empty data information.
don't think that one can repair that with some gain plugin or
normalization...
Depends on the file format.
If using IEEE754 floating-point, your data should have been normalized
before it sent to disc - so you lose nothing (although if you're using a
flush-to-zero mode for FP arithmetic you may introduce crossover
distortion).
