You do not need to install and run the Quantum service again. This only 
needs to be run once on a "controller node"

On the compute node you need only to run the Quantum agent. Please note 
that there is a utility script that you can use: quantum-node-setup

Thanks

This is done by the abovementioned script

No need

No need - you only need one l3 agent

This is tread by the script. Please note that there is no access from 
the agent to the quantum database. This is done via the message broker.
