This markup is equivalent to the following explicitly sectioned
markup, in terms of the sectioning algorithm:

<body>
  <section>
    <h1>Title</h1>
    <p>Text 1</p>
    <section>
      <h1>Subtitle</h1>
      <p>Text 2</p>
      <p>Text 3</p>
      <section>
        <h1>Sub-subtitle</h1>
        <section>
          <h1>Sub-sub-subtitle</h1>
          <p>Text 4</p>
        </section>
      </section>
      <section>
        <h1>Sub-subtitle 2</h1>
        <p>Text 5</p>
      </section>
    </section>
  </section>
  <section>
    <h1>Title 2</h1>
  </section>
</body>

These should now be obvious from the explicitly sectioned markup I
have provided.

That's not an element in HTML5, so it wouldn't be recognized as a
heading element (this is one of the reasons <section> was created, so
you could 'reset' the header depth and avoid running out of header
numbers!)

As I'm not the author of this proposal, and don't think I like it
exactly as stated, I'll forgo answering these.
