I'm not sure about your phone, check binaries or route through a PC.
Some parts are encrypted with SSL, for that you need to use a MitM attack (proxy that generates certificates)

Probably. Funnily enough I only have an Android phone.
The easiest way (works from any GSM phone) is to dial *#06#

Generally speaking - yes. There may be exceptions though.

P.S. I get the same code via Voice/SMS etc. It never seems to change.
Perhaps that user had two different SIMs that both used the phone as storage, or WhatsApp changed the algorithm.
I'm pretty sure it's just some sort of checksum. They're probably doing something really simple.
