Answer

You are correct: it is a way of comparing positive and negative aspects of a thing.

Answer

Pros and cons are the things that are positive (pros) or negative (cons) about a certain choice or action. It's just what you've said there.

Answer

Yes, that's correct - the positive and negative points of something or the advantages and disavantages.

Answer

pros means the points in favor of what is being contemplated, and cons means the points against. Saying them together indicates that the report is trying to be fair by considering both points of view
