Memory address is where the actual machine instructions (that you
assemble and store) in bytes.

The program counter is only when you execute
a program in run time. After each time you execute an instruction it
increments to the size of the instruction (unless it is a jump
instruction).

see above.

right?

yes, in machine cycles only not oscillation clocks (1 cycle equals 12
oscillations).
