Apparently you stopped reading there . Non-revolution socialists are indeed conservative in the socialist society (or society of socialists, or 'the party', if you want). In general society, their views for society are radical. However, they are indeed more conservative than those who advocate revolution.
Indeed. The Soviet Union had its own conservatives. It's society specific.
What does that have to do with anything? Conservatism doesn't lay dormant until an 'attack' happens. And of course business conservatives want to make sure that change in government regulation doesn't happen too fast. They don't want to wake up and find new massive government regulatory programs arose in the night.
That's just a semantic arrangement, created to stop conservatism looking bad whenever it mucks things up.
