Custom fields are saved as “post meta” which is stored in wp_postmeta. To retrieve them, you use the get_post_meta() function as follows: $value = get_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $single ); $single will almost always be set to true if you’re working string data.

Yes, you can disable auto update by adding this line of code in your wp-config.php file: define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false ); OR Disable automatic WordPress theme updates by adding the following filters in your functions.php add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_false’ );

The code you are looking for is in functions.php (line 106 to 211). To understand what they have done in TwentyTen, I would suggest that you read the following: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_custom_image_header
Great question. There is no generic and comprehensive documentation workflow in WordPress circles. However there are some nice tools and options to make use of. readme.txt Markdown-based machine-readable file.
