I think that's the basic idea. In practice, with a group of 5 you'll only get 5 chests at the highest mythic+ level you can complete each week. Unless of course you get to mythic+10 and up, then you could theoretically get many chests with 865 gear.

In theory yes. But even if you don't finish your keystone in time, you still get loot.
