Glad I could help.
1. Correct - resolution limited to 16/44.1. Yes to the Airport Express and AppleTV. No to the iPhone or iPad. Any device that shows up in the Airplay tab of iTunes will also show up as a Roon endpoint.
2. Yes you have it. There's lots of talk about the specialized devices like microRendu, but pretty much any PC or Mac works as an endpoint since a fairly low level of processing is required. The little hp mini is connected to my network via wired ethernet now, but it could be connected wirelessly and still function as a Roon endpoint.
The Oppo will not be recognized as a Roon endpoint. Oppo appears in the "Roon Tested DACs" section of the Roon website, meaning that it works with the output of a Roon endpoint. Not very useful information, IMHO.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
...that you already alluded to, is that you can have as many end-points as you like, and they don't have to be dedicated 'streamers'. I use the microRendu dedicated streamer but when I first started playing with Roon I tried other end-points.
Roon on my main Mac Mini (left) streaming to an older Mac Mini set up as an 'end-point' that has Roon bridge software on it.
In the test setup above, I would simply swap the DAC USB cable between the main Mac Mini or the 'end-point' Mac Mini depending on which 'zone' I had selected in Roon. Many dedicated streamers that are "Roon Ready" (like the microRendu) have the bridge software pre-loaded.
