As far as I can remember, I've never heard it said that the promenade set was more than two stories high. Of course, they could have filled anywhere and just called it the third level.
Yes. Worf spies on Quark from the third level in Hippocratic Oath if I'm not mistaken.
Was there a difference between the USS Defiant and the USS Sao Paulo? If so, what were they?
It had different carpet. It also had a different console in the aft section of the bridge. It also didn't have a cloaking device.
It also had a different registry, though you couldn't tell from the reused footage in the battle scenes in the finale.

That IS a good question.
Unless one of the other 370 Internment Camps had them.

I didn't remember if the Sao Paulo was equipped with a cloaking device, as for the reused FX shots, probably a bad idea to destroy the Defiant in the first place. I would've love to see that small ship perform a lot better against the Borg since it was built to face them. It was a beautiful looking ship which was so appropriate for DS9.
There were. Bashir and Worf.
As for why there weren't more...they were all in one of the other 370+ internment camps.
Or they were beaten to a pulp for Jemhadar practice.There were. Bashir and Worf.

Perhaps this fits with the idea that the Dominion is huge, and those Starfleet prisoners amount to little more than a drop in the ocean of all other GQ races the Dominion was controlling or trying to get control over.
After all, Starfleet wasn't effectively at war with the entire Dominion as such but with its Alpha Quadrant outpost- an isolated outpost after the events of 'Favor the Bold'.
And they still were losing the conventional war, even with the help of the Klingons, until the Romulans joined.
It's good practice to break up prisoners with a similar origin between several camps, so they would have more trouble working together to escape. Camp 371 was very foolish putting Bashir, Garak, Martok, Tain, and Worf in a single cell, especially when that cell wasn't watched continuously.
How did motion control photography work? For example, when a ship was shown docking to DS9, was this several shots composited together?
Yes.
Motion control photography usually consists of filming many aspects of a shot separately. And not just one shot for each object. Each ship was typically shot several times for all the different lighting. Flat lighting, beauty pass, window lights, engine glow, etc.
Random Question: What would have happened to Captain Sisko in The Visitor had Jake heeded his father's advice and just live his life, and Jake had died without his father being present? Would he have floated in that subspace bubble (or whatever it was) for eternity?
Fans probably never knew how detailed that work was.
I found an interesting article on motion control filming:

Assuming the Prophets didn't retrieve him, yes. He would have experienced no passage of time, though, so no slipping into madness from centuries of sensory deprivation.
^ I suppose that had it been the 'real' timeline, the prophets would have rescued him at some point, yes. After all, the Sisko still had the path to walk.
Perhaps the fact that the prophets didn't in all those years was an added justification for Old Jake that he could erase that timeline. Then again, perhaps not. After all, 1000 years mean as little to the Prophets as to trapped Sisko.
I also wonder whether Sisko remembered that timeline or not afterwards. That he ducked to evade the discharge the 2nd time suggests he did. But possibly that was only a subconscious holdover.
