3. The dollar limit of coverage
4. Can the homeowner file a claim against the policy for the contractor's wrongful actions, "independent" of the contractor?
If the policy is just a personal liability policy to protect the contractor, it is worthless to the homeowner. What good is an insurance policy if the contractor either refuses to file a claim or disappears?

It's called a certificate of insurance. You won't get the premium paid - it doesn't matter. You can get - if they will do it - you named as additional insured. Point of contact won't be shown. Get a certificate that shows both the General Liability policy and the Workes Comp policy.
