(1) Depends.  
  1.1 Rsync - at least for my use - is one-way from a given machine to 
      a backup server in most cases (I mean I do have to restore every 
      now and again). PC is "master" in that regard, and overwrites 
      "server".
  1.2 Nextcloud is more of a "network share" -- all machines always have
      the same data (well, less any sync delays; although I believe that
      opening a file checks if the file's changed on the server first).  
  1.3 I also use git for programming projects; and that enforces
      "central server is master", requiring some manual intervention
      if someone else made changes that I don't have.

(2) I think I answered this above. Lemme know if you want more
    clarification.

(3) Depends
  3.1 For rsync'd things, I don't do 'deletes' on sync if something's
      on "backup server" and no longer on "pc" (laptop, whatever)
  3.2 & 3.3 For nextcloud or git stuff, the server usually keeps some 
      "reversion" history that I can undo an oops with; but otherwise,
      deleting from one deletes from everything.

(4) Not entirely. 
  4.1 Rsync stuff only represents a given machine's $HOME directory
      (plus maybe /etc or some /usr/local/bin scripts I wrote myself), 
      less "Nextcloud" data.  I suppose this would be what you consider
      the "on machine A, but not on B" stuff.
  4.2 All machines that utilize Nextcloud have the same data as what's 
      tossed into the shared directory (i.e. $HOME/Nextcloud/). The 
      Nextcloud sync client is cross platform - running on Win / Linux 
      / android / Mac / iOS.
  4.3 Only those projects that are on multiple systems get "sync'd", and 
      "syncs" are manual. Git, like Nextcloud, is cross-platform, 
      although I don't use it on Windows.

> What if you 'sync' five machines?  Which one, if any, takes precedence?

The central server that's hosting Nextcloud (or git).  After that, all
the client machines are "equals".  Syncs happen pretty frequently across
most everything, except the android phone (but that's because I opted to
have that only sync hourly).

Rsync backups, each individual PC is the "master", and the backup server
just takes whatever "new" data the machine(s) send to it.
