When sending to this list, that's somewhat implicit :-)
Unfortunately I cannot answer all your questions; hopefully somebody
else can help on those. [unanswered questions omitted]

PPP is a symmetric protocol. You only control your end; so you only send
"echo" requests every 30 seconds. How often your provider sends echo
requests *to you* is up to them.

No. That's active at the *link level* (basically checking that the line
is still up). This has nothing to do with TCP/IP activity.

Off course, you're free to hack ppp :-) (I presume that you will read
/usr/share/doc/ppp/copyright first).
But if you don't respond to your ISP's link-level echo requests, they
will think you have hung up on them, and disconnect the call ...

pon is essentially a wrapper for "pppd call $1". If you want to see how
pppd interprets all the options, etc, try:
# pppd dryrun call <insert-provider-here>
