Yes its all disregarded although some RAW editors auto adjust the RAW image to the settings specified in the camera,but everything can be adjusted afterwards, except obviously ISO, aperture and shutter speed. You can however adjust the exposure slightly when editing RAW

Yes I believe so, but the embedded jpeg will be set to those settings until you start messing in ACR I think.

It depends on how you shoot, how you edit, and what software you edit with imho.
If you like to do minimal editing, even when shooting RAW, then getting it right in camera as much as you can is a good idea, though only if you edit with the camera manufacturers own editing software because then all the in camera setting will be reproduced, though if you feel the need to change something, then you have the option to.
If you're using a generic RAW editor then most of the specifics of the in camera processes are either ignored, or not rendered correctly, so taking the time to set that up may be a waste of time. But if you occasionally shoot Jpeg, or RAW+Jpeg, then having the Jpeg settings sorted may prevent excessive editing of the Jpeg when used. And in the case of shooting RAW+Jpeg may allow you to use the Jpeg if it comes out the camera looking good.
