Yes, usually. Total number of pages being sent.

Typically, yes, but it's up to you. You can use: "Pages: 3, including cover" or "Pages: 2, excluding cover" I think including the cover is more common, because people want to ensure they've received all pages.

Our cover sheets here at work specifically say "Number of pages (including cover sheet) ____" just to avoid confusion.

Not necessarily. Only if: 1. goes to a place who don't know us 2. has special instructions on it. The best way to deal with this (and I devised it in 1990 when the fax started) to include your address tel# etc... include the other party address and name on top of your letter. This way you waist less paper and time.
