Of course.

Like any "set" command, it is stored with the subscriber's entry in the
list, just as other delivery modes (each or digest) are.

No.

Only if the other list names appear in the headings. There's not a
single "same group" -- if a message is mailed to listA, listB, and
listC, there's not a primary and secondaries -- it's just mailed to
three groups, and when a list delivery is attempted to a user who has
the "unique" delivery mode, it's not resent to them if they got it from
another list.

It's defined as a delivery mode. If you set the default delivery mode
for all of your lists to "unique", force all current subscribers to
"unique," and disable other modes in the "allowed_modes" setting, you
can cause all users to have it. But you'd be disabling digests in the
process.
