It is the RPM you install on the client that does the following:

  - reconfigures your rhsm.conf file to point at the Katello server
  - installs the candlepin generated CA certs on the local systems so it 
can make authenticated calls into Katello

  The Katello server itself, it is not Org/User/Env specific in any way

> C) What function it serves for the user?

  - Makes it possible for the user to run 'subscription-manager 
register' from the client and have it register to the appropriate 
Katello server.

+1 to (4) from above.
