    Sometimes different brake rotor adaptors and a different lever if the two levers are not identical (depends on the specific brakes)

    Some levers like Avid are able to go either way, others like Hope or Shimano are Left/Right specific. Otherwise, they sre generally the same.

    yes no and maybe.
    Have a look at the disc brake sticky.
    some levers are sided as well.
