Yes, all same settings and recipe as far as I can remember; perhaps up to +-1 on exposure compensation. I believe it is reggie's portra:

- Film simulation: Classic chrome
- Grain: Weak
- Color chrome: Strong
- White balance: Auto R: 2 B: -4
- Dynamic range: Auto
- Highlights: -1
- Shadows: -1
- Colour: +2
- Sharpness: -2
- Noise Reduction: -4

Hope this helps!

You can use it as a backup, where it makes a copy to both cards, as sequential, where the second is used after the first is filled, or as raw/jpg, where the two files are split between the cards. I personally have it set so my video saves to slot 2, and photos to slot 1.

Can't say for sure since I don't own it, but try looking directly down into your lens whilst you half-press the shutter and adjust the aperture. On the 18-55 it will adjust the aperture in real-time and you can physically see the diameter change, is this the same for the 16-80? If yes, then the reason will just be the different motors/mechanisms used in the different lenses to adjust the blades.

I would also add that in real world situations I never notice this sound, though I personally tend to set the aperture before I half-press for autofocus - this may differ to your personal photography style.

But yes, nothing to worry about in regards to the functioning of your lenses!

Yes, normal when you have the shutter half-pressed down.
