Yes.

Hmm, I'm not sure.
As I remember correctly, it will try to access such paths as a user 
running service... You might verify that though (and let me know).

It is the user which "executes all commands".

For example, try to run the service in the foreground (show GUI), first 
as SYSTEM, and then, as a different user (i.e., Administrator).

As a "execute before", type notepad.

When you log in, open console (cmd.exe), and type "tasklist /V".

You will see what user runs the notepad you started with "execute 
before" (i.e., once nt-authority/system, and the second time, 
administrator).
