Yes, it is version 5.1 (at least that is what would be displayed on the Apple TV). It is the same version that is on the Apple TV 3. Only difference is the support for 1080p is only available for Apple TV 3.
You can connect your Apple TV to your computer and in iTunes click the Restore button. This will install the latest version erasing your jailbreak in the process.
Yes you will have to jailbreak it again. Currently version 5.1 is a tethered jailbreak meaning that if you restart your Apple TV (not putting it to sleep) or lose power or disconnect the power cable you will need the help of a computer to boot the device. Note a laptop is best as if you have a desktop in the other room you need to disconnect the power and you’d have to boot tethered again.
Yes that is completely different. aTV Flash is software that you can install on your Apple TV.
Well first you need to understand what the different is between a tethered and untethered jailbreak are (http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethered-jailbreak/). Once you understand that then you can make an educated decision as to whether or not it makes sense for you as an individual to run a tethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1.
