Generally if the lock is horizontal its supposed to mean locked. You can flip this on most common locks, but then its backwards. It makes sense from a visual perspective to have vertical unlock, horizontal lock.
I think it is! The metal block slides in that direction so it’s rather intuitive. One lock I know that works the other way is my flat lock, and it’s just wrong model installed incorrectly; it’s upside down

Yeah also you normally do a 90 degree rotation towards the wall to lock
i’ve heard of that being the standard for water valves but i don’t think it’s a universal thing for simple door locks

Generally, yes. Not always though. There’s a lock in my house that’s locked in the vertical position. Threw me off when we first moved in.
My front door also locks in the vertical position.
