grep :QTL case.scf (and look to the lines preceding the :QTL line to
understand its meaning -- note that you will have one :QTL line for each
spin channel).

A standard answer: if your numerical accuracy is good enough (basis set
size, k-mesh density,...), then these numbers are exact for the given
XC-functional.

Indeed -- these are only the electrons within the muffin tin spheres.
