This happens automatically. When the packages have not changed, only
the IDE is rebuild. Just like any project.

a) the pcp parameter
b) the install packages dialog allows save/load of sets
c) see below

The lazarus.lpi only allows to run and debug the IDE.
The set of installed packages are stored in the primary config

You can save lazarus.lpi as lazarus2.lpi and enable the building in
the compiler options. Then you can install any packages you like.
