Isn't it like a hand-stand but with the bike still fixed to your clip(less) pedals?

A trackstand is where you stand on the pedals while you're stopped and balance the bike. It's called a track stand because people who ride on the track (velodrome) do it.

Pulling your front brake and getting your back wheel up in the air. Also known as a stoppie.

I put my left down unless there is a curb on the right I want to use. Since we drive on the right side of the road here I feel the camber of the road makes me favor the left because it is not as far to touch the ground. I need a bit of work on my track standing technique as well as my stoppies. I think a combination of both (at once) at stops would be impressive. 
Maybe not as impressive as the girl pictured above but still wouldn't be too shabby.

I unclip my left foot because it is my less dominant/weaker leg

sounds far too advanced for me. I might get around to taking my stabilisers off soon!!!

Just replaced it with this one, at least you get out with this one, and whats more you get use to the not so nice weather.

Same. Right handed if that makes a difference.
