Pictures show good results for your starter beard as a 16 yo. Good coverages down the sideburns are already showing up along the jawline and to a lesser extent further up on the sides. If you look closely at your sides, you will see a lot of younger hairs which look lighter and are short. These are a mixture of slower starters and transitional hairs... both of which will show terminal in the months ahead... that is, similar to your sideburns. Your stache is coming on strong and even thought the philtrum [center] looks a little sparse now, hair there will continue to develop and show the stache more complete.
All of the points you raise in your first 3 questions are typical of a developing beard. Over the next months and perhaps a year or so, this development will get to a point where your beard shows pretty solid but not complete. At this point, even your terminal hairs are light textured but as your beard matures, they will become more like your head hair, with some weight and bulk behind them. The challenge for you will be to realize that the total process to complete your beard will take some time, but at some point soon it will be good enough to keep it growing. You may reach this point in a couple months and if so, you will remain bearded and continue to watch your beard develop. That would be pretty exciting for a young guy like you.
Keep it growing and show updates every couple weeks.
