Just spend more time playing MInecraft. You will eventually find it.

The EULA Says no.

Backpacks allow, I'm assuming, users to carry more items than their inventory can, so more backpacks for donors changes their gameplay.

Vaults, I assume, protect items, and more vaults for donors = more protected items for them. Changes gameplay.

Both are disallowed.

The Zombie's AI will attempt to avoid any hazards. Also lava at floor level is not a productive means of killing them since their drops will be destroyed. Usually with spawners people will either dig a big hole underneath, causing the mob to die from fall damage, or use flowing water to guide them into a trap or player killing chamber.

I don't really understand the odds that well, but yes, you can only get "rare drops" by killing the mob yourself. Now in practice what people like to do is "soften" the mobs up, lowering their health down so that they only take one or two hits to kill. In theory this can be accomplished through precise fall damage or crushers. One thing that complicates matters is the fact that zombies (and skeletons) can randomly spawn with armor, sometimes even enchanted armor, which changes how much damage they take from these softening methods.

Spawning works a little differently with spawners: Mobs will spawn in any surrounding air blocks so long as the light levels are low enough, even if that means spawning in mid-air.

The zombie AI doesn't really understand ladders. The reason it "follows you up" is simply that AI is telling it to "move forward", with the ladder automatically converting that forward motion into upward motion. Technically it is possible for the zombie (and other mobs) to just randomly walk into a ladder and start going up. You can avoid zombies (and other mobs) going up ladders completely by leaving off the bottom one and jumping when you want to go up yourself.

Pro-tip: Put a couple blocks directly above the spawner to ensure that mobs don't spawn on it and stay there.
