Answer 1

Most parts of JIRA configuration can be set up differently for different projects. Some things, like custom fields, can be also set up differently for any pair of (project, issue type).

The schemes are the means to configure these per-project/per-type configuration pieces, with probably reuse of one configuration among different projects.

For example, issue security feature allows you to set up options for Security Level field and limit issue visibility to certain users based on the value of that field. Issue Security Scheme contains definitions of those options and how they limit issue visibility.

So you first configure Issue Security Scheme (may be more than one) to define that piece of configuration, and then you can assign each project one of the available Issue Security Schemes (or neither one), thus applying those pieces of config to the issues in that projects.

I've seen this described well as part of the CustomWare training material used by Atlassian.
