The (optional) authentication credentials are sent in the http request.
Those are processed by the HTML5 client javascript code.

No.
The HTML5 client only uses a single websocket connection to the server.

There are no HTTP requests after downloading the HTML5 client.

What "session"? (as per above, there is no HTTP session)
The HTML5 websocket connection to the xpra server does not expire.
