Right.

Yes, pretty much.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "percent would have meaning
only with the total number". The important thing is that you can track
how many tuples you're supposed to return (based on the current number
of rows from the outer plan) and how many you've produced so far. And
those numbers are only growing.
