From my experience with one induced and one spontaneous labour:
1) no, as I was kept on the monitor for most of the labour so they could make sure bubs was not in distress. Basically stayed on my back or side for most of my labour.
2) no as I was being monitored
3) able to pee naturally and encouraged to do so frequently. I think the catheta (sp?) is only inserted if you have an epidural but I could be wrong
4) I think they strongly suggest a c-sec if you get close to 24 hours as it is classed as failure to progress
5) it was a crapload more intense being induced as the contractions came on strong from the beginning and I was not able to get a handle on them at all
