It's a dumb promotional thing, they aren't "Premiere"ing the game, they are are showing gameplay footage. It's an Ad that Netflix users are paying for the privilege to be advertised to.
The trailer/extended look has a six hour exclusivity to Netflix before being released on other streaming platforms. I'm not sure if you were asking about the game itself. Supposedly Netflix paid around $100 million for that deal. I don't know if there are any official sources for that info though.
Doubtful, rockstar just want non gamers to see it and this was a way to get Netflix on board
this sounds like a half ass attempt to do what what Edgerunners did with Cyberpunk.
