It is just the user part. The order is

	3, 0, 2, mailer-specific, 4

#0 produces the triple <mailer,host,user> of which 'user' is passed
on to #2.

No. This will pass the entire triple to #4. To check out how an address gets
rewritten, retype the user part, and pass it to #2, the mailer-specific
ruleset, and to #4. (or use -bv with debugging flags)
