Your First Placement may be in any unoccupied Realm — that is, a Realm containing no Units and no Monsters; Dwellings do not count as occupying a Realm (p.9).

Subsequent Units must be placed in a Realm adjacent to a Realm occupied by one of your Units and not into a Realm that already contains one of your Units; you may place into a Realm with opponents’ Units or a Monster, but doing so will trigger battle (p.9).

No — battle always occurs after you take your Action in that Realm: you place your Unit, resolve the Realm’s action, and only then the battle is triggered and resolved (p.14).

Each player adds the battle dice values of their Units in the Realm, gains +1 die for a Dwelling in the battle Realm and +1 for each Dwelling adjacent to it, then players (in turn order) may spend Swords to add one die per Sword up to a maximum of 6 dice; highest-die comparisons determine the winner (pp.14–15).

Losing players move all their Units from the battle into the Underworld while Dwellings are never removed; each Unit sent to the Underworld grants its owner 1 Sword, and Units return from the Underworld when that player Regroups (p.15).

The game ends when a player builds their 6th Dwelling or when the last Realm is drawn, and after the end is triggered every player (including the triggerer) takes one more turn — so be sure to use Orbs and Free Actions on your final turn (p.19).
