Correct.  (The KDC doesn't generate long-term keys, so only
kadmind/kadmin.local and kdb5_util are affected.  Also note that a
kadmin client can specify an enctype/salttype list when creating new key
sets, in which case supported_enctypes is ignored.)

Correct.  Removing an enctype from permitted_enctypes causes the KDC to
ignore keys of that type, but supported_enctypes is only about new
long-term keys.

Correct.
