A:  the anchors in the vertical still standards aren't weight bearing they only prevent side to side movement. the horizontal bar bears all the weight and should be attached to studs. 

A:  Yes and however vertical brackets are used 

A:  This is the vertical support, all the horizontal pieces are supported by them. I'm not sure what it recommends, but I used 2 1/2" cabinet screws directly into the studs for the vertical supports every 1 ft (7 screws per 84" support) And I spaced the vertical supports to hit every stud. I used it for books and it's plenty sturdy. I don't think I would trust toggle bolts with that kind of wait. But I might over engineer things!
