1. Williams is saying that errors in grammar are only important when people notice them. They happen all the time and because of that it's only that person's fault to an extent. Content is always going to be the most important thing. He makes his point by sprinkling errors all over the paper to see how much the readers will notice without being told.
2. The game he explains is that he intentionally put errors in the paper to make people see that, when reading for content, errors go unnoticed.
3. Anyone can make mistakes, but when a published writer does it people don't notice because they're not looking for them. When students make mistakes it is obviously noticed because the teacher is looking for them, red pen in hand.
4. That depends on who the writer is, a student will get blamed for an error, while we think a famous writer probably made the mistake on purpose to make a point. He tracks the errors from the page to the book to the teacher and so on....
