1)Both batteries are just hooked together daisy chain. They are not separate. For true separation there has to be a battery selection switch. With a switch you can tell the system to use battery1, battery2, or both. With a switch the batteries are not connected directly. The way yours is if something drains the battery, both will be dead. Nothing wrong doing this just don't have a 'backup' battery with this setup.

2)Just guessing...but it looks like a thruhull connection to the outside of the boat. Perhaps thats where water comes in to cool the engine. Trace the line from that valve. If it goes to the water pump on the back of the motor, you have your answer.
The small brass valve is connected to the oil pressure system. You probably have an oil pressure gauge somewhere.

3)not sure

4)I'd want to look real close to see if they are both actually connected to the same line or just are close enough but are on different lines. Another guess, but that looks like a raw water strainer, that the valves connect to.

5)that looks like a fuel valve of some sort, from the type of the green line and the fact its real close to the fuel tank. I just had to replace the fuel tank due to rusting through.

6)Most likely its a fuel filter.
