An internal web person/team or a colleague.
An external company.

14. How much has the site been customized from the original WordPress installation? (Guesses are fine for this answer)

Not at all, it's still pretty much the same as it was out the box.
There's a different theme and some plugins have been added.
A lot of work has been done, the site itself is unrecognizable from the original theme, but the Dashboard still looks like the usual WordPress interface.
You'd never know this was a WordPress installation, everything has been customized.
