Resort fees on comped nights depend on the property. At Cosmo, my resort fee is always comped on comped rooms. FT'ers have reported mLife props still charge resort fees on comped rooms, which seems strange to me.
As far as whether the nights are "really" free? Of course they aren't free. Gamblers just don't pay for them directly.

Unlikely. Casinos might offer comp rooms to a known gambler who plays at other properties as an introductory enticement offer. They won't make the same offer to someone with no gambling history.

It's gambling. It's always possible to make money and still get comps. A 1% player advantage does not mean the player will make 1% on any given gambling session just like a .25% house advantage does not mean the house will win .25% on any given session.
Also, you will not get away with advantage gambling to >1% - the casino will notice your betting patterns.

Heck, comps at even 1/3 ADT is generous these days.
