Yes. Without any 4-man experience, I know they put themselves in a "deep" B or C when there's R1 only (and probably anytime there's a runner on 2nd or 2nd can be stolen).

Yep. 10.05(a)(5): The official scorer shall credit a batter with a base hit when a fair ball that has not been touched by a fielder touches a runner or an umpire.

Couldn't tell you for sure. In what I can tell, U2 is inside almost as much as a U1 or U3 would be (except R3 only), so I can't imagine it happens any less frequently.
