Boggarts & the Passage to Honeydukes

CH3ed:
I'm re-reading PoA and just got curious about boggarts and wonder if others can clear things up for me. :O) 
1. Boggarts are shape-shifters (according to Hermione, and Lupin agrees) that take the shape of what you fear the most. But they seem to be able to do what they turn into can do also (tho, perhaps to a milder degree...like immitation instead of real stuff). The dementor-boggart that Harry practiced doing patronus charm against made the light go out and caused Harry to relive LV's attack at GH. So... had Lupin been correct and the first boggart in the staff room turned into LV when it saw Harry, would the LV-boggart be able to do magic?
 
2. What did Moody see when he used his magical eye to check out that boggart in the drawing room cupboard at 12GP for Molly? In PoA Lupin taught that noone knows what a boggart looks like when he is locked up in isolation...He is shapeless until he is seen....or is it until he sees someone? So would Moody had seen an empty cupboard that was shaking? What if you lock up a boggart in a box made of one way mirror so you can see in, but the boggart can't see out? Would that boggart have a shape? 
 
3. Why is there a secret passage from Hogwarts to Honeydukes' cellar? I guess we won't hear any story about it as it doesn't seem significant. I'm just curious of the story behind it.
 
4. And how did Ron know to run breathlessly into Snape's office to tell Snape that the Marauders' Map was a toy he got from Zonko's and bailed Harry out? Harry was caught by Snape just after he cleared the hidden passage. Ron shouldn't have known where Harry went, ay? 
 
CH3ed is hopeless behind the posts. His computer had gone on a winter hybernation without leave. :O(
