I'll jump in the fray!
To respond to JW:
1) Sounds like a feeder to me, according to this definition.
2) Obviously, the existence of breakers determines branch circuit or feeder.
3) Yes, as suggested here:
225.36 Suitable for Service Equipment. The disconnecting means specified in 225.31 shall be suitable for use as service equipment.
Exception: For garages and outbuildings on residential property, a snap switch or a set of 3-way or 4-way snap switches shall be permitted as the disconnecting means.
