my experience is that dividers in the syrup pan allows you to draw off smaller quantities without having to worry about scorching pans as u draw out syrup. Your pan does not flood out with sweet sap. In the flue pan it keeps raw sap from flooding out your sweeter stuff as it enters the pan

No, evaporation rate will remain the same.

Not much.
Keep boiling!

We got a substantial increase in evaporation with dividers in the pan. it was easy to see how they transferred more heat or actually had more hot surface in the sap. I would venture a 20 to 30 % increase in our situation.
