Dileepa, I will try and help. 

Looking at the first page of Paul's PDF on this in inkset ( 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/UT14.pdf ), I do not think you are 
entirely correct. Rather, Mk (Eboni) is in the K slot. A 100% carbon 
Photoblack (PK - presumably K4-PK) which produces warm tones is in 
the M & LM slots. A 60% dilution of non-100%-carbon PK (Presumably R2 
PK which comprises a blend of 10% blue pigments and 90% carbon) is in 
the C & LC slots. This latter PK produces cool tones.

Yes, noting the inclusion of blue pigments to make cooler prints.

No, you will need no GLOP on matt paper.
