That depends on what is currently in your document.  If this is your 
first equation, you will see "(1)"; if it is your second (as 
apparently in the guide's example), you will see "(2)" and so 
on.  That is the nature of numbering!

Because the number is a field, it will change if you subsequently 
insert other equations before it in your document.  So any references 
to it should be cross-references, not hard text.

Yes.

Not necessarily.

I trust this helps.
