That would be a fair assumption. It would be a pretty big stretch for Metrolinx to simultaneously award the construction contract for all 4 lines to a single bidder.
Quite possibly ... though that contract is only for 6.2 km of tunnel. Perhaps the contract contains an option for the rest of the project.
Separate contracts. They explained to me at a recent open house that they will be using two regular-style construction contracts to do the tunnels (one for west of Yonge and one for east of Yonge) because all the detailed engineering work had already been done and they didn't need to mix it in with the P3. Everything else for Eglinton (stations, tracks, signals, yards, surface section) will get lumped into a big design-build P3 bundle that's in the middle of tendering right now.
