SO TRUE. I was on the ferry back to Helsinki yesterday and there is no doubt :D

No. Flera means several, as in a small, easily countable number. Given the number of Finns is large, många is the appropriate word here.

Yes, that's my understanding. So for example, "lärare" is both a singular and a plural noun. I'm no expert, but this seems like one of the few times when an "en" word has the identical singular and plural forms.

Yes, that is right. Agent words on -are are the same in singular and plural indefinite.

Finnar are the Finnish-speaking Finns. Finländare means all Finns. Finnar also means pimples... perhaps a native speaker could elaborate on that.
