If you review line of sight rules, monsters block line of sight, so doors beside/beyond aren't revealed in my opinion nor are multiple monsters in a row. That is the official rule. I think most Zargons on this forum do reveal the whole corridor though. How you play is up to you. Consider the implications of whatever you decide.

The rules are a bit convoluted when it comes to blocked line of sight. I believe Jalepeno's right where it says heroes can't see behind monsters, and yet when you play Keller's Keep the expansion comes with extra monsters and the last hallway in The Great Citidel is full of monsters. I don't see why it would add additional monsters unless they're needed for such scenarios. So I allow heroes to see past other monsters to give the heroes a better idea of what they're up against. You're allowed to play it whichever way you see fit.
So to put it altogether:
A1.) I think the hero should still be able to see the door.
A2.) The hero doesn't need to state he's looking and since the goblin is clearly in line of sight, yes you put him on the game board.
A3.) Exactly, there is no point in "Looking."
A4.) Even if the hero technically isn't facing the north corridor I would still lay it out, he's going to see it eventually anyway and if there are monsters in that corridor they would most certainly see him.
B1.) Right again, there is no point. However in certain expansions, notably in Return of the Witch Lord, some doors start off as already open.
B2.) Yes, anytime a doors open you layabout its contents, the hero doesn't need to state whether he's looking or not.
B3.) There is none and you don't need to.
