Yes you will have to make a back cut. You can do it with the TS or on the
router table with a straight cut bit elevated enough to make the panel fit
the rails and stiles slots. I actually prefer this type set up as it lets
you be more flexible when milling the raised panel.

That's correct; though I have just flipped the panel over and done both
sides the same.

Yes, and like Leon I prefer the straight bit setup to a rabbeting bit.
Or, you can mill your panel stock to 5/8" instead of 3/4" and leave
the back flat. Depends on which look you prefer.
