I cant really answer any of the other questions, other then I've lowerd my anchor point, I try to have the knuckle of my thumb right around where my jaw and ear-lobe meet, and I try to keep a very relaxed grip on the bow to avoid torque on the bow.
You still need to have it set right for YOU...peep or not.

A peep is basically nothing more than a hole in the string that you see through. (about the simpilist way to describe it) For hunting purposes you want one at least 1/4". What it does is ensures your eye, anchor is at the same spot every time. There are also peeps with clarifiers (lens) in them to give the shooter a clearer picture of the pins.
Its just to keep things consistent...I have astigmatism...and you don't really focus on the rear peep sight its just to keep things square/lined up.

Once your shooting is consistent and arrows are grouping well, adjust your sites and you're good to go.

If you're planning on hunting and can hit within +/- 4" of where you're aiming consistently, you're not going to have much of a problem taking game.

If you're planning on doing competitive shooting, 3D or target archery, then you obviously want to be closer to that X.
I just prefer having a rear peep sight...
