Are these all pronounced exactly the same way?
Actually yes. You can stress out some syllables to say YOUR moon is burning and such but it doesn't help a lot. Context matters
Yep. Or maybe you could say that they have a teeny tiny difference, but it's barely noticeable if you aren't listening very closely.
Most likely not, I expect it's the same as what you can do in English, put the stress on different places in a sentence to give different meaning.
