If I change a question in the question bank, will it be changed in all the quizzes it appears?
Yes. See Tim Hunt's forum post https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=234011&parent=1016542#p1016558
Is there a way to set the default for essay questions on our site to allow uploading of one attachment?
The only way to change this at the moment is by editing the code.
In question/type/essay/edit_essay_form.php, find where it sets the default for 'attachments' to 0, and change that to 1.
Note that, after changing the data in the DB, you will need to go to admin -> plugins -> caching and purge the Question definitions cache. Or just purge all caches.
Why do some students correctly guess the answers for questions with images in them?
When you insert an image in a question, you should make shure to change the image title into a non-descript name. When a student is having a quiz, if the student leaves the mouse on an image for a few seconds, the mouse will show the image title. See the (Spanish language) example below, where the top image reveals the case diagnosis (amyloidosis) while the second image has a non-descript image title (img1).
