So, if you travel abroad for business, just tick the box for "going to work". No rule in France says that work cannot be in New York, Milan, or Shanghai (whether they let you in is a different quesiton, but not of relevance for the French legislator).
Yes, that is true. The only issue someone should face is at border control, when the proof of legitimacy of your "work travel" will be checked.
Not sure what documents constitute a valid proof - and as far as I know, there is no law or decree that specify this yet.

This was clarified yesterday on official websites.

Basically, when traveling back from EU+ countries, no test is needed. If traveling from other countries, you need a pre-departure test or an arrival test. Note that different tests seem to be accepted now as PCR is not explicitly specified, so one should be fine with an antigen test.
