PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.

You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.

Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
