I can only answer the first one and a half questions, but I think you're "inside" when you've got all the RP you could ask for and "outside" when you want to RP and have no catalyst or source for it.
Bingo.
It's all a completely personal perceptual sort of thing. And rather nutbar as well, I will be the first to admit.
it's not a feeling I find easy to shake, though, as nutbar as the feeling sounds. So I'm not sure I'm explaining myself terribly well, but...yea. It's a matter of perceived inclusion to conversations, stories and adventures with others in the game's space--adventures that involve more emotional and imaginative involvement beyond "Hop in to the Duty Finder", anyways.
