   Random forests have very few parameters so it would be difficult to   
   build multiple random forests.  What random forests show is that boot-   
   strapping alone is powerful enough to get most of the benefits of   
   boosting.  That was a little surprising to me.

   I don't think that the decision stump would be getting the weight.   
   The boost algorithm would be applying the weight.

   See (2).

   These questions sound like they would be answered by reading some   
   basic articles on the topic.
