In Mailman terminology this is a reject. The difference between reject
and discard is reject returns the post to the sender and discard does
not.

That is correct.

Also correct.

Because you can't. You can either notivy the sender or the
owners/moderators, but not both without Modifying the Mailman code.
There is no configuration option to do what you want.

No. You can set the list members unmoderated and their posts will go
through without moderator notice or action. You can then still set
generic_nonmember_action to hold, and a post from a non-member will be
held for moderator action and the nonmember will be notified.

Also, if you want these discarded after a few days with no moderator
action, you can set General Options->max_days_to_hold to some non-zero
value to automatically discard them after that many days.
