Right. But note that for upgrade case, you have to be able to read
domain.xml, there is no choice but to read the java-config and process
it. Whether to do asadmin or java -jar and manually get all that
configuration is up to you, but you must get that information.
It's just that asadmin start-domain has done work for you; use it.

Yes.

How do you know ;)?

Probably you should read StartDomainCommand.java code to ascertain what
is done when. There are some specific rules that apply here and in some
cases server manages the master password of domain and in other cases
(you as a user). I haven't looked at the upgrade tool screen and
probably I should, but in cases where the user manages the master
password it sounds reasonable that you ask for it on the screen.
Yes, this is the so-called "master-password" distinct from the other
password -- usually called the "admin password".
