You can't say that. All scripts are in there.
Things in /etc/rcS.d/ are run at boot time. (See /etc/rcS.d/README
for infos)
What's also run at boot time are the things for the default run level.
Check your /etc/inittab for that.

Yes.

One way of doing it. Note that this only gets run at boot time when the
default run level is 2, which happens to be so right now, but might
be changed later, so check /etc/rcS.d/README for a better way.
I don't know the policy if there is any on this topic(?), but you can always
have an @reboot entry in root's crontabs.
If in any doubt, see /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz for more infos.
It's all documented.
