Yes, to compensate for the increased oxygen flow, we often change the "Main Jet" of the carburettor, to a bigger one.
Main jet is a small cylindrical metal component with a circular hole in the middle for sucking up fuel into carb. I have seen it myself.
Replacing the main jet with a bigger one is also called "rejetting". Browse Xbhp for more details.

Yes. Precisely, Accelerator is on your right hand. Throttle is inside the machine, but these 2 things are linked and are used synonymously often.

R125/ R15 have been tuned, to make more power at high rpm's. But, it won't be too much at lower rpm's.
Most of our Indian-made machines (P180, Karizma, etc.) have more torque/power at lower rpm's than these bikes.
Google "Torque vs Power" and read many such articles on net about it. Basically, Torque & Power are same things, but with a factor to separate them: RPM/ Engine Speed.
Power = Torque x RPM is the formula.
So, a bike revving upto 16,000 rpm will give lots of power. But, a bike with rev ceiling at around 5000 rpm will be less powerful, but torque would be quickly accessible.
Another example, Karizma gives 17 bhp power @ 7000 rpm. P220 gives 21 bhp @ 8500 rpm.
And so, karizma engine has lots of torque at lower rpm's making it ideal tourer. And P220's ideal for drag races, where it beats the ZMA hands down...
Generally, More Power results in Quick Acceleration & more Top Speed in straight line & high throttle..
So, More Torque-based Tuning helps in pulling weight easily, and giving desired response at low rpms. Ideal for Commuters. Also, Torquey machines are good at mileage too, than high revvers.
An Indian Train engine, say has lots of torque, but it can hardly accelerate, or go beyond 130-140 kmph either, despite a big engine.

"Generally" speaking, More CC would mean more torque, power and lesser mileage (Again "generally", as mileage is a factor of various elements)
I strongly suggest that you SEARCH & read Xbhp's articles and posts for already printed knowledge.
Believe me, almost everything you asked is already posted somewhere or the other place. You'll have to search though.
