To answer (1) and (2) see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/FAQ#I_have_just_made_some_changes_to_the_map._How_do_I_get_to_see_my_changes.3F

To answer (3):

The mapnik layer has imported coastline data for the whole world and 
displays this in its view.  For most of the world (the area outside the UK) 
this is only shown as a line and not as filled sea.

The tilke at home layer generates coastlines from data which has been extracted 
from PGS share files,, and specifically uploaded to the OSM database and 
tagged as natural=coastline.  The areas which have been uploaded are mainly 
detailed on:
