For method #3 , thanks for showing the nipping loop ( aka "round turn") pointed to the right! Normally people tie this with the nipping loop pointed to the left, which makes a bit of a mess with lines spinning around each other. This method is much cleaner.
I just do what is easy for me and assume it's the same for others. The only time it gets complicated is when a person is left-handed and they get turned around watching what I do. I sympathize when I try to do this stuff with my non-dominant hand. The best way for me to visualize that knot is that one is simply tying a snap bowline for the most part. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It doesn't matter, but if it makes you feel better than you could. Once loaded, the overhand knot becomes tight and it is a near impossibility for it to become undone. Cheers
Pretty much, although I know it as a bowline on a coil. At the root it is just a snap bowline really, which is just a variation of a slip knot. Thanks for commenting.

on the first bridle with the webbing should the tails of the webbing be tied off or is it not necessary

Is the 3rd the Portuguese bowline?
