The subdomain will not be truly "yours" until you first set an ACL, as it
will generate a .meta file which applies to the subdomain.

Yes, it generates a minimal WebID profile and cert.

See above.

As a Linked Data store, all files you create are treated as RDF documents,
and the following line is added by default:
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

I might remove this behavior, depending on feedback. :)

Yes, all files you create are RDF by default (turtle).

If you move from one data store to another, say from timbl.rww.io to
deiu.rww.io, it will ask for the certificate as it is a different domain.
Was this your question?

RWW.IO is intended to be used as a backend service for semantic Web apps. I
will post a description of how such a system can work.

By the way, RWW.IO builds on the code base of data.fm, with additional
features I have come up with meanwhile. Since Joe said data.fm is not
really maintained anymore, I will try to contribute to it with as much code
as I can from RWW.IO.
