Arrange meetings with other people to play MP, announce your servers.

I'm choosing to ignore the future tense of "will" since we don't know the future - we can however guess and explain what things look like at present:

Currently, anyone can build anywhere (look at "forces" if you are curious about assigning players to different teams)
In the future, I'm hoping mods will be able to access the game in a way that allows a modder to create some kind of permission system.

Depends on your configuration, if you start a server with the argument --no-auto-pause the game will continue to run in real time despite not having any players online, if you omit the option - the game will pause as soon as the last player disconnects.

You can find vanilla servers in the multiplayer forum (I'm hosting one myself).
This is a pretty philosophical question imo, there is no way for anyone to really know how most players will play factorio - I'm guessing most ppl start out vanilla then gradually move towards using mods but it's really just a guess. (not sure why you as a player really want to know if others will be playing Yuoki in the future or not?)
Hosting a factorio server? Take a look at this || init script ||.
