If there is repeater local to me would I be able to hear someone transmitting if I was tuned to that frequency without having programmed in dpl/ctss or any of the other stuff I haven't wrapped my head around yet?

Yes.  Tones are filters that filter out everything not on that tone, so if you want to receive everything coming from a repeater just don't set any receive tone and you will filter out nothing.

Yes.  The tone only keep LS others from transmitting into the repeater.  Tones or not you will here it all on simplex. Nothing is private 

Do all GMRS repeaters have a +5.0 MHz offset for transmit? (ie: 462.625 Rx is 467.625 Tx)? I think I understand tone codes to transmit to open the repeater.

Yes, the frequencies (channels) are set by regulation.
