Yes. It sets the timeout for idle client connections. How long Squid
waits after the last received request before it closes the connection.

No. It's global.

Yes. Both the on/off and timeout is separate for client and server.

client<->squid:

client_persistent_connections
persistent_request_timeout

squid<->server:

server_persistent_connections
pconn_timeout

These sets the upper limit as enforced by Squid. Clients and servers
also has their own settings which may further limit persistent
connection lifetime or use.
