Easy. 96% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 7.

Yes. Tenor banjo, mandolin and octave mandola are all tuned GDAE, so the tab above is identical for all three. A bouzouki tuned GDAD needs the top string adjusting, which the converter handles.
