Will the streaming be in sync? #4

If the port is open in two different tabs/browsers at different times, will the streaming of mp3 file go in sync in both the browsers?

It really depends on your definition on "in sync", but the short answer is probably no. Icecast is not a realtime streaming protocol, it's just an endless stream of audio data. Any syncronization you want to do between clients needs to be done on your own.
