There is currently no PI in IPv6 unless you're an internet exchange or a root server. Whether there will be is anyone's guess, but it's not currently in the pipeline.

This would be called PA.
No.

The address delegated to customers (the /48s) would be PA addresses: you would be the Provider, and the addresses would be Aggregatable by your /32 (or whatever).

That /32 (or whatever) would be Provider Independent (PI), and you would never need to renumber regardless of how many times you yourself changed providers.
