I believe the mitt is formed incorrectly. Love the Praying Mantis catchers mitt and wilson a2000
Yes, secures the finger on the mitt and keeps it from sticking up...which could be susceptible to foul tips, causing injuries. however, most injuries are to the thumb, when receiving a ball. Best catchers mitt on the market and decreases hand injury by keeping the thumb out of the pocket when receiving is the Akadema APM43. It has a stress wedge inside gloves to lower impact when receiving.

Yes it is in my opinion.
The word mitt is a large glove. To use it in a sentence you could say "Joey just got a new catchers' mitt", or "Mom is using an oven mitt".The word mitt is a large glove.

I would
No, but it is highly recommended. Some catchers use First baseman gloves instead, because they also have good padding. I do believe they have to have a padded mitt to catch. Catching fastballs is sometimes painful even with a catcher's mitt on.
I would at least go with an 11 inch glove and possibly an 11 1/2. The 9 inch gloves are really small and will not be usable in a year or two. I would recommend that you get a glove that is game ready....it is basically broken in for you. I do not typically agree with the charts out there that recommend the small glove for this age.
