Yes, current postfix version might look into your interface configuration
to "guess" mynetworks. Read about mynetworks_style parameter -- by default
it is `subnet', other values are `host' and `class' (read sample-smtpd.cf
and sample-misc.cf files).

Do not worry about this -- this is how postfix builds it. Well,
it may be useful to remove duplicates from there -- just to stop
confusing people at least. But anyway, postfix usually "guesses"
this list correctly.

Postconf -n shows only parameters that have non-default values set in
main.cf. As long as you not set mynetworks, postfix will not show it
here.

No.

postconf -n will show it if you set/specify it explicitly.

Yes -- see mynetworks_style above

You mean "why one entry is repeated", yes? Perhaps you have aliases
for your interfaces or something like that?
