It can't be separated from its context. This is why it is in the PO

individual *paragraphs* of templates. So, if a given templates has
several paragraphs with at least one containing translatable material,
then we need to mark the whole template as translatable. Hence, the
untranslatable paragraphs also end up in PO files.
There's no way to advise the translator that this string should not be
translated? Developer comment?
Of course, you can here just copy/paste the English text. This is even
recommended as the formatting is important (for instance the "\n"'s you
may find).
Yes, that's what I do where commands are concerned.
While I am at it, please note that variables should NOT be translated
even when they belong to a translatable text.
I did work that one out, but thanks for the reminder. Variables are
literal in the .po context.
