Answer 1

the dealer plays **last**.

this doesnt seem huge till you notice that this position give them the choice ot respond to the other players that made their play without this knowledge.

result: evne if both the player and the dealer bust, the players went bust 1st, meaning the dealer is the last player standing when their turn comes.
