Do the Maryland privates hold lacrosse tryouts in the fall? I noticed most of the Hawks players had already been issued their high school helmets.
Private you pay the tuition you make the team. Only cuts after sophomore year.
At some schools maybe. Not at all. The better MIAA A Conference teams with lots of kids trying out will still occasionally cut kids.

Every high school and college coach will tell you the same thing: Rec and club coaches don't always have this developmental perspective.
I guess you went 0-3
Wishful thinking. Overall a good tournament with lots of positives. Its all about player development at this stage. Most if not all of these kids will be playing varsity or JV in the spring. Expect the boys to improve a ton in the Spring due to tougher more athletic and physical competition, strong position coaching and practice/games 6 days per week.
