Hello, Sorry if this post twice, I got an error on the question window on the first attempt and didn't see the post over the next 15 minutes.
We're building a new script to go through folders containing newly downloaded and saved Windows updates, and manually run the updates, (well, manually via the script). In the past we used qchain at the end of a similar script.
1) Am I correct in understanding that we don't need to run qchain on any newly downloaded Windows updates, and that "update.exe" takes care of what qchain used to do? 

Yes, that is correct.


2) Am I also correct in understanding that we don't need to run "update.exe" like we did with qchain, because each Windows update has it's own "update.exe" file to handle that update? 

Yes, that is correct.
