3) They can add any file, at all, in to the share which will sync with everybody in that folder as long as they have enough quota - and everybody else does to get the files as well (or it wont download for them).

5) They will auto get shared access to sub folders of the directory you share.

Great, thank you, that's really helpful. So it looks like I need to get them all to sign up for a free account with Dropbox as well, ideally using the same email i have for them already , is that right?

Yes, although you may find it easier to ask if they have an account already - many will. Some may even have paid ones 🙂
If they do use that one for the invite even if its not you usual one
