Yes. Gluster has it's own quorum, you can disable it but that's just a
recipe for a disaster.

I think so, but I never took the chance so who knows.

Free from a lot of problems, but apparently not as good as a replica 3
volume. I can't comment on arbiter, I only have replica 3 clusters. I
can tell you that my colleagues setting up 2 nodes clusters have _a lot_
of problems.
