Answer 1

cache:true is the default and does not always get the content from the cache. The cache-ability of an item on the browser is determined by:

• The response headers returned from the origin web server. If the headers indicate that content should not be cached then it won’t be.

• A validator such as an ETag or Last-Modified header must be present in the response.

From this link

cache:false has another use case to always load the content from server regardless of whether that content is cached or not.

The point here is: the cache-ability is determined by the server and cache:true or cache:false of the $.ajax is just to determine whether to look for the cached response or not.
