You want all non-output operations in the constructor (queries, math, etc).
All output goes in Output();

Yes. or in the same directory if you like, it's a matter of personal
preference.

I like to have a tmpl/ dir under module directories.

Yes, I believe you can.

binarycloud/user/tmpl/html/smarty/
