^ If Gyazo worked, that image shows the result, your seed, spawn and current location.

Will the same seed always result in the same World?

Short answer yes, long answer sometimes.
Different operating systems may give different results for the same seed. This is untested though, so for now, just assume that it should give the same world, but is not guaranteed.

Be aware that even with the same seed the spawn location is likely to be different, which can result in confusion.

Is there a relation to a position of a digit in a seed that will produce certain results, for example, the first number of the seed being the number of cave entrances nearby?

No, seed 5017 is going to be completely different from 5018.
There are no patterns, larger numbers do not result in larger features, repeating patterns of numbers will not give anything special, prime numbers and perfect numbers have no effect.


Why can I use words instead of numbers?

Letters and symbols on computers are stored in Bytes, presumably minecraft converts these bytes into decimal numbers, for example, the letter m = 01101101 and converted into decimal that is 109.
Capital letters and lower case letters have different values in binary, so if you do decide to use words, make sure you use the correct capitalization.

1. 404
This seed is not for the faint of heart. Entering "404" will spawn you in a seemingly normal world. Close to your spawn will be a large gravel pit.

Good luck and make sure to bring your weapons and wits!

Entering the seed "10110101" will place you in one epic map. There are numerous huge mountain arches with large gaps in between. It is an awesome seed for building giant projects on. It may take a bit of time to find this area but I assure you that this map is well worth your time.
