We call them "nodes", but yes.

Correct.

JOSM does it just like that. Your problem might be authentication -  
do a tcpdump and check whether your HTTP library perhaps sends, for  
every single node, a request without auth first, then receives a  
"forbidden" answer and then re-tries with auth. Some libraries do  
this and it obviously increases processing time quite a bit.

Doesn't work yet, but is planned for 0.6
