Answer 1

You are most definitely looking at robin eggs.  The color of the egg can varied due to the birds diet. This doesn't happen all the time, but it can happen.  If everything else fits, then its robin eggs.

Answer 4

An American robins nest is usually twigs, small branches, grass and mud.  Their eggs are blue, no spots.  You need to confirm it is a robins nest and eggs.  So wait around and be sure a robin returns to the nest.
