Inside RepoA, you can use 'hg summary' to quickly see if you need to
update.

Yes, pull and push are completely symmetric -- they both transfer
changesets between repositories.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. Push and pull will only move
changesets and they wont touch your working copy. You need to use 'hg
update' to change the working copy to reflect new changesets (or use 'hg
pull --update' which is a short-hand for 'hg pull; hg update').
