You could have answered several of them yourself by simply taking a
closer look at the output.

Yes, it must be defined when the mirrorlist= option is undefined.

Cannot answer that, because I don't understand the question.

Read "man yum.conf", bottom half, too.

Do understand what they do by reading the manual, then answer the
question yourself.

You configured your local repository wrong. Notice the duplicate
"repodata/" directory in the URL. Don't include the "/repodata" in the
baseurl.

Look what Yum tells you. There is no "updates" command. It is called "update".

Same as case 1.

The rest you quoted is duplicate due to misconfiguration or usage errors.
