In their virgin state, they are not as effective as when they're broken in

In my opinion, yes to a minor extent. But the quality of the leather does have an effect for sure. Lower quality leathers will give lesser results
3. Does the supplier/maker of the same type leather have a different affect on the blade steel?
Not sure what you're asking here
