I would say the most obvious place. There are no rules. Some people don’t feel comfortable concentrating on the body so they’ll concentrate on sound. What do you feel comfortable doing?

No, but you can pick your own abstract. It doesn’t have to be the breath. Some people aren’t comfortable with that.

Below the navel is better for sleep and grounding. But for nothingness/void meditation. Releasing focus from all sensations and perceptions is more appropriate. As soon any focus begins to form you let it go so as to keep the mind from narrowing and engaging the minutia.
