Answer to Question 1

 This symbol does not indicate a metrical organization in the sense of European/Euro American music. Rather, this symbol means four quarter notes per measure without implication of (Euro American) stress patterns.

Answer to Question 2

 Four quarter-note beats
 The melody accentuates beats 1 and 3. Beats 2 and 4 play off beats 1 and 3, giving the music a sense of lift.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
