The countries with arrows will perform in that slot but are automatically qualified for the Final.

Sweden as reigning champions and host country while France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK are the so called Big 5 who fund a big portion of the EBU (the TV organisation that owns Eurovision).

Very. The first version of it was not approved by the EBU because it had very political lyrics. Now it is a bit more subtle but their participation is not welcomed by many.

Full fledged EBU-membership.

Australia isnt a full member so they need to keep getting invited. They first joined for the 60th edition in 2015 since they have been airing Eurovision for decades.

That is indeed a great moment. I was actually in the audience that year, 2010 in Norway. Two friends and I managed to get tickets. Soooo much fun!
