Hi microsoftstudent123

Q1: This is normal. Method 1 is using Agent Builder (Recently renamed Copilot Studio Light Experience), those "Light" Agents have limited capabilities (Custom RAG only). "Light Agents" created using Method 1 can only be managed in M365 Admin Console, not Copilot Studio.

Q2: Those agents are available to anyone in your organization, as long as you share it. The different is the cost for using the agent : include if you have a M365 Copilot licenses, per usage if you have not (using Copilot Chat)

Q3: Yes they are, but can you share more context regarding your question?

Hope its help.
