Cecily got all the questions. For 4, the answer is no, blacksmithing is not level capped. I have a lvl 12 with a smithing skill of 140. Non-class/race-specific skills do not have level caps. You can only raise 1 above 200 (not sure if that's for only generic tradeskills or also includes the specialized ones).
For other tradeskills (if anyone is curious):
Poison-making capped at 0 until 20, when cap is lifted (no level cap after that)
Alchemy is capped at 0 until 25, and after that is severely level capped (I think you can only get to 5 at 25).
Tinkering is capped at 50 til 16 (gnomes start out at 50), when cap is lifted (no level cap after that)
Research is capped at 0 until 16, and after that is level capped (so the spells you need for your level are juuuuust out of reach of your current skill)
