At least 1, at most - 5. A team that finished first in a division goes to play-offs directly, regardless the points it collected in a regular season.

Not usually, although it could be possible. Quarter finals consist of eightcontestants in four matches,andprecede semi finals and a final. If there are only eight contestants in the whole comptetion then the first round will effectively be the same as the quarter finals.

So usually, the first round and quarter finals are not the same thing.
