Yes, except no curricular standard exists among b&m/online schools either. A course titled "English Literature" could require one essay per semester or five, one book per semester or five. It might include short stories, poems, and plays, or it might not.
Not necessarily - our school district's curriculum has very specific standards for each grade/subject.

Yes, but I'm quite sure that no admissions person is going to go digging through your district's website (assuming they even have it posted there) to try to find the standards. And I do know that my district, which is supposedly "the best in the state" does not have any sort of detailed accounting of what is actually supposed to be done in particular courses online or anywhere else. However, as a homeschooler I am expected to provide course descriptions and book lists along with my transcript.
