Answer 1

drush + bash = www.adamagregory.com/blog/2010/03/12/multi-site-update-with-drush

Answer 2

In Drupal 6, you can’t update via the web yet, so it’s just a guess: if you need it via the web, we write a script that will log in (using curl ) and also pull the desired address. In a loop for each site.

Answer 3

Multisating is primarily needed where it is necessary to have a common base / part of the tables. Not suitable for mass hosting - low isolation.
And you can automatically update drush and scripts.
