yes, please. I'll help to keep the task description more clear.

TABLE_LIST is for table information that comes from the parser. When a
parser sees a table, for example, in SELECT * FROM t1, it creates a
TABLE_LIST instance for 't1'.
Depends on what information you want to pass.
run-time table information is in the TABLE class.
If you write, say, SELECT * FROM t1, t1 as t2, there will be *two* TABLE
instances for t1, because t1 is used twice in a query. There could be
more than two, if t1 is also used by other threads. TABLE objects aren't
shared between threads. But t1's metadata (number and types of columns,
indexes, default values, etc) are the same instances of t1's TABLE, they
are not duplicated, but stored in a shared TABLE_SHARE object.
TABLE_SHARE and TABLE correspond to an open table, they contain the
information as it was read from the .frm file.

The official name is "subquery in the FROM clause". In
SELECT a+1 FROM (SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE b>5) as dt
the "table" dt is "derived table".

No, of course not. Only those tables that are mentioned in the query are
created.

Yes, it's mapped internally to a select from a corresponding I_S table
(with a bit of column remapping to support legacy column names).

Yes. Install a recent version of bzr and branch
lp:~marc.alff/mysql-server/mysql-6.0-perfschema
Then push it as a new brach on launchpad, and work in that branch.
This is how I'll be able to see your code and comment on it.
