Your computer should ship with mountain lion, if it arrives on August 7th, or is it only for computers ordered after the release?
It depends, if it downloads from the Mac App Store on your apple ID, then you should be able to download it again on your iMac. If it appears in software update, I'm afraid you won't be able to download it for free on another computer.

Just above that paragraph it says, "a qualifying new Mac system". The second paragraph refers to the Macs that qualified. Which Macs qualify? New Macs bought on or after 11/06/2012. There are no new Macs that are excluded from this. As long as the Mac is bought after the date, it is a qualifying Mac.
You don't need one. The app store servers that handle the process will verify the age of your Mac. Apple tracks the serial numbers and when they're sold.
I didn't bought it from apple store since we don't have official apple store here in Greece. I bought it from media markt and I doubt that they inform apple if and when they sell their apple products hehe.
