The official way would be to either use the appropriate slonik
command (that would be "uninstall node()") or to call the uninstall node 
function directly on each node:

  select "_cluster".uninstallNode();

where _cluster is your Slony schema name.

That's a very good start, yes; although I wouldn't call it a tutorial :-)

Yes; they should exit themselves if Slony is uninstalled though.

Probably yes.
