No, just from whatever appears in method signatures. There's a flag that 
can enable the import list
as well, but I left it disabled.

Nope, just the kind: from methods arguments, from imports as well, or 
nothing

They are there, you just looked at an unfortunate diagram. They are 
solid lines.
It's also possible to have just relationships, but in my opinion that 
would spoil the diagrams too much.

Yes, with javadoc comments, see 
http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/umlgraph/doc/cd-model.html
(UmlDoc is an _unreleased_ extension to UmlGraph).

That's not something I'm gonna do myself, but it's an open source 
project, you're welcomed to
contribute :-)
