By default you are importing first name, surname, email and username. 
You can import more attributes by creating additional LDAP mappers. But 
no password imported from MSAD to Keycloak DB

No, password checks are made against ActiveDirectory. Just if you have 
editMode UNSYNCED and you change the password of the user (or he change 
it himself in account management), then the new password will be saved 
into Keycloak DB and will be used in favor of the old password from MSAD.

Yes. See our Kerberos documentation for more details [1].
