Correct my integartion concepts

Hi!

Yes, this is possible but the recommended solution is not to install Adapter Engines on every sending / receiving system but to use the central Adapter Engine on the Integration Server.

Yes.

The Adapter Engine on the Integration Server can access files on the local file system or on other machines using FTP. In this case there is not Adapter Engine on the remote machine necessary, only an FTP service needs to be running.

Correct.

If this is possible it should be in the documentation about decentral Adapter Engine configuration.
