That is the only *TCP* port that need be opened.

It depends on your server code - i.e., what port number did you use 
when you set up the multicast stream?

No.

No, not for multicast streaming.  (Instead, the single multicast 
stream (with a fixed port for RTP and RTCP) will be used for all clients.)
