At 50 pages long to do a binding of a 35 page long SM spec, and after two years of development, I hope that is not the case... The specifically (naturally) assumes a working knowledge of IPP, including IPP/1.1 from RFC 2910/2911/3382/3510 and IPP/2.0 from PWG 5100.12. There are dozens of IPP specifications (both RFCs and PWG standards), and hundreds more for IP, TCP, TLS, Bonjour, and other protocols and technologies that we depend on - that's one of the reasons we include tables for all operations and attributes with references to help navigate the specs you need to understand.

No. Job Template attributes are supplied in Job Creation operations in the job-attributes-tag group.

These are all Job Template attributes, so they go in the job-attributes-tag group in the request, after any operation attributes.

The Printer (FaxOut service) copies the Job Template attributes in the Create-Job to the Job object, per RFC 2911. Those attributes are then used in the processing of the Job.

For that Job, yes. The Client specifies the recipient(s) in the "destination-uris" Job Template attribute when sending the Create-Job request. The Printer (FaxOut service) copies any Job Template attributes into the Job object that is created, and then uses those attributes (collectively called a "job ticket") when processing the Job (sending the fax).
