Yes.

This is default folder.

In the .ini file you can specify other folder.

Yes. As far as I know.

To the folder!

On default it points to folder "Databases"

There is no path. 

You use only NAME of registration of database under server.

I recommend you download and use Valentina Studio.

If you need put under VServer EXISTED database,
Then you need:
A) drop db into folder Databases
B) from Valentina Studio execute command Register Database.
      for Register, you specify

            dbName / dbPath on server.
        
Now server name, that it have database with name dbName.

    db.open( "dbName" )
