Have a look here:

Especially this document:

Where it says:

STEP C: CONFIGURE THE APPLIANCE

1. Launch OBS Studio on the source system. Choose Settings to open the settings window. Choose Stream to access the streaming settings.

2. Complete the fields:

• For Stream Type, choose Custom Streaming Server.
• For URL, copy one of the endpoint URLs from the input you created in Step B. Remove the /<stream_name> at the end of the URL.
• For Stream key, type the stream name.
• Leave the Use authentication box unchecked.
• Choose Apply to save your changes.

Answer 2

What OBS refers to as "stream key" is the App Instance.

Answer 3

That is the "stream name" in the rtmp ingest point URL. The format would be something like

rtmp://domain:1935/live/streamname

stream key in OBS is streamname
