Correct.

Also correct.

No, not quite right. You can have multiple outstanding ibcast's -- they'll just be satisfied in the same order in all participating MPI processes.

Correct -- this is also possible.
More generally, you can have multiple outstanding non-blocking collectives on a single communicator -- it doesn't matter if they are the same or different collective operations. They will each be unique instances and will be satisfied in order.
