Procedural textures, as used by POV-Ray, inherently provide unlimited 
detail anyway, regardless of resolution.

Yes, something along those lines.

Yes, of course. It is commonly used to make sure the camera parameters 
match the output image aspect ratio, as in:

   camera {
     ...
     up    y
     right x*image_width/image_height
   }

but it can be used for any other purpose you deem fit.
