For example, "L'amour" and Qu'on."

the apostrophe is used to prevent having two vowels following each other. This prevent a rather awkward sounding construct such are:
le amour (l'amour)
la etoile (l'etoile)
que on (qu'on)
de accord (d'accord)
Hence the need for "h aspiré":
Le haricot
Le homard
Other words starting with a "h muet" will follow the apostrophe rule:
l'homme
l'honneur

No. Not unless it is a proper noun or part of the title of something.

No - only if you would normally capitalise the noun.
