Ok, I looked at the source code of Utf8ToUnicode and I can answer some
of my questions:

Utf8ToUnicode returns a size that already counts the extra
null-terminator it appends to the string.

I confirmed that size already counts the null-terminator.

Some other questions are still unanswered, namely 2 and 5
