I don't have it front of me at the moment, but I believe the settings are
labeled something like input RGB and CMYK simulation. I know they aren't
both "input". What you choose in the RGB popup is the profile that will be
used if none is present in an RGB document. If one is there already,
PressReady uses it. What you choose in the CMYK popup is the device that you
are asking PressReady to simulate. The "none - For Advanced Users" (or
something like that) is the setting that turns this simulation off for the
purpose of building profiles or manually applied color management.

No, you shouldn't have to use Postscript color management. see above.

No, it appears to use relative colorimetric. It doesn't simulate paper
white in normal use. You could accomplish this by turning off simulation in
PressReady (select None in the CMYK portion of the control panel); and using
custom profiles and appropriate color management ahead of PressReady.
PressReady was not intended to be an extremely versatile RIP, but rather a
simple and inexpensive RIP for the person who couldn't care less about the
nuances of color management and just wants reasonable simulations on desktop
inkjet output. This fact along with its sparse documentation and never past
version 1 status makes it a bit complicated anytime you get outside of its
intended workflow.
