RC AND MOT parameters - looking for full explanation

Hi.
My setting is
X-frame quadcopter, Pixhawk-2 controller, U3 motors with 12’ props, Alpha-T-Motor ESC.
I am interested in using the full envelope of my motors . After I measured the motors output in a lab, I found that the full envelope (according to the motor’s spec-s) may be achieved when MOT_PWM_MAX is set to 2200, however it is usually limited by 2000 (this is what is written in Mission Planer).

So, I am looking for an extended explanation on motors and rc. Questions:

1. When I perform the Radio Control Calibration do I set the RC_MIN and RC_MAX PWM values or I ישהקcalibrate the radio control within these values?
2. What happens if I change the above values in Mission Planner parameters tree after the calibration?
3. As I know, If I do not define values for MOT_PWM_MIN and MOT_PWM_MAX, the controller will use the appropriate RC_MIN and RC_Max values. What happens if I do define these values? Do I have to set the RC values accordingly or re-calibrate the radio control.
4. If the ESC has been calibrated after radio calibration and then I set the MOT_PWM_MIN and MOT_PWM_MAX - do I need to re-calibrate the ESC? What may happen If I do not?
   Thanks
