The first few points you made are really great, this is often confused, but: > Indexers (really often just a forum) often act as trackers as well, but they don't have to. Indexers might operate a tracker (and often include their tracker by default in all their torrents/magnet links, but they're still not the same thing. > Trackers often remove .torrent files and magnets at request, but leave enough information for you, you to create new magnet link and use their tracker for peer discovery. No, I don't think that's true.
