Looking forward to answers.

Yes, it is

Yes, in any case

I don't think so, since you only pay for your "own use".

However, many teachers do that and I doubt that Netflix has anything against it, as it is surreptitious advertising in one respect.

Of course, something like that is allowed!

However, none of us knows whether it is correct, except your respective teacher or your school management.

Look at the opening credits. It is expressly pointed out that public performances are prohibited. This also includes a school class.

How can teachers be punished for this?

A school class is not public mmN because it is a limited group of people

How does the Copyright Act define the term "public"? Section 15 (3) UrhG regulates exactly what is meant by a public reproduction. A reproduction is then public if it is "intended for a plurality of members of the public", with everyone belonging to the public "who is not with the person who exploits the work or with the other people who like it Work is made perceptible or accessible in an impersonal form, is connected through personal relationships ". The Copyright Act does not specifically specify which events are public, but only states which quantitative and qualitative criteria must be examined in each individual case to determine whether there's "public" or not.
