With the K-R you use the histogram (as mentioned above) to check exposure.
On playback, when looking at a particular photo, the INFO button usually cycles through various display modes, one of which will show the histogram.
Also on the K-R you can configure Live View to show the histogram.
I don't have a K-R but I think that half-pressing the shutter will lock FOCUS. That's standard on lots of other cameras too.

1. At 18mm and 55mm the focussing distance was approx 4 inches whan I tried just now. Your 17-50 should be about the same.
2. I think that it's a 1:2.5 ratio.
3. Yes, like any macro at that magnification I suppose.
4. Another option is to get a cheap 2nd hand dedicated macro lens. Manual focussing is fine for macro, as you tend to use manual focus anyway. But the Raynox is cheaper.

I had tried k5 but didn't think of the 3 character thingy. So these all work fine:
pentax k5
pentax k-5
pentax k 5
