#1 Hmm, I get an error near the end of installation that it can't read file "flashplayer.xpt" which is located in

c:\Documents And Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\sw010101\

I can see the file is there, although it's only 856 bytes (which might be perfectly normal).

#2 Yes I found this surprising too, plus 8.0 was a huge upgrade over 7.x

I think Macromedia is just goofing around with their version numbers, there's no way there are enough changes to deem this update from .0 to .5, which usually implies something significant.

#3 It looks like Macromedia no longer allows you to download a full install package (aka network or offline install). It seems you have to get a "license" to get a copy of the full installer. They use to let you freely get the full install for Flash 7, shame.
