Q: 6. with the bubble level to your left, which direction doI turn the adjustment knob to open the clamp? clock wise or counter clockwise

A: The spirit level is in the rear, where it can be easily seen.Arca Swiss places the quick release clamp on the left side so that you can hold your camera with your right hand. Most cameras have a grip on the right, making this a more convenient and safer location than most quick release systems.There is no tightening knob for regular use on the Arca Swiss quick release system. The quickset has a two movement release. The first movement loosens the plate for tilt balance adjustment, but doesn't release the plate for safety. The second movement releases the plate. There is an adjustment knob under the plate if the flip lock movement gets loose.YouTube has excellent videos demonstrating the Arca Swiss quickset mechanism.

Q: 7. Does it fit into my Arca-Swiss d4 Tripod Head with a Classic Knob Quick Release? As I would like to change it to fliplock

A: The original quick release clamps on Arca-Swiss heads such as the D4 are attached without the intent to be user-interchangeable. There are reports of damaged clamp-attachment screws from those that have tried removing the clamps. We recommend leaving the original clamp attached.
