In order:
The other planets are real.
Stars are, I believe, near the edges of the dome.
Dunno about shooting stars.
The center is typically placed at the North Pole.

If the other planets aren't flat why would the Earth be flat?

From the wiki (https://wiki.tfes.org/Planets):
Q. If the planets are round, why isn't the earth?
A. The earth is not a planet.

Unfortunately this only shifts the question to "what differentiates the Earth from planets", to which I suspect the answer is "the Earth is flat". I would greatly appreciate someone with more knowledge pitching in otherwise!

I wonder what they think the other planets ARE?
They seem to acknowledge they exist. Are they orbiting the sun? Oh, I see they are

So why can we sometimes see the other planets at night but not see the sun itself...

Generally it boils down to the idea that Earth is the center of intelligent observation, so why shouldn't it be different?
