Master key

Question 2:Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes,I have thoroughly gone through them and know the functions and restrictions of each key.
Posting key: this key allows us to post,comment, edit, resteem, vote and follow or mute other accounts.

Owner key: This is the most important permission key besides the master password,it gives full control over your steem account.
