RFC2528 is currently under discussion in the ATOMMIB WG, so
you may want to check there as well.

The latter. You can get an enterprise branhc in the OID tree.
You can check if your company/organisation already has one via:
  http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/enterprise-numbers

If not, then you can request for such a branch via
  http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl

You need your own, see above

Yes, that is why we have such a naming structure, so that you
can extend the standards based MIB objects with extra ones of
your own (if needed).

Not sure what you mean with "link requireed".

Did you read rfc2578, rfc2579 and rfc2580?
They contain a wealth of information I think.
