It generates a different key to each cipher ?

Derivation function keys ???

Please read the documentation. All answers are there.
We can't answers such questions which are already covered by the documentation. We simply can't afford it and that's why the documentation exists.

Yes.

Derivation function keys ???

Using the hash you selected during creation, the header key is split into 256 keys for each cascade.

See last paragraph in link below.
