UNICOM has no voice server.

It depends. On default settings, you will not see them at all. If you check the Traffic Passthrough box or whatever it's called you will see either an A320 or a 737 to represent other pilots on VATSIM.

Nope. You really want that turned off to avoid confusion.

What kind of confusion?
It is fun to see you are not alone in airport. It is second main part of why you are in vatsim (controller is first).
Are you care about aircraft collision?
Personally I even make custom AI aircrafts and add it to /squawkgear/mp.py to have adequate traffic around me.
