Porsche - like most of the German car makers - is incredibly consistent.
7 (model) year cycles. Refreshes in the 5th model year.
New engines have been introduced with the refreshes for at least the last two models (996 and 997). The new engines in the refreshes have then carried over into the next model.
The Panny and Cayenne refreshes came with smaller displacement, higher output engines. Both the Cayenne and the Macan have forced induction engines across the entire range. They're all "turbos" even though only the high-end models are called "Turbo".
I'd expect all of the above from the MY16 991 911.
This is correct. Porsche follows the 7 year cycle, with the last 3 years being the "facelift".
991.2 will be out as a 2016 model, probably in fall of 2015.
The 991 successor will be a 2019 model, to debut in late 2018.

I hope this is true. I'm planning on ordering a 99X GT3 after M2020 launches as a treat for 6 years of hard work. Yes I like to plan my purchases this far in advance
The REAL wildcard is coming out with a GTS mid cycle. Could be just the Turbo engines on the .2 refresh, but I suspect it will be more. Don't forget about Rennsport V in September. They had quite a splash with the 991 at IV.
When the 991.2 arrives in stores in early 2016, will the refresh be applied to all variants of the 991 at once, including the GTS, or will it be done in phases?
Contemplating about getting '15 GTS which is probably the last NA, or waiting out for the refresh with the updated steering wheel, pcm and exterior upgrades...
