The answers to 1 and raidy 10 1 1 are correct.
2. The Japanese Language School is your agent to apply for the qualification to study in Japan, and your qualification to study in Japan is tied to the school. The language school is solely responsible for your study in Japan. Without their permission, you have no right to transfer. And if other schools admit you privately, there will be corresponding penalties. In the view of immigration, your behavior of changing language schools is also incomprehensible.
Your understanding is reasonable, but you have no choice. I suggest you put forward reasonable reasons to the language school to get permission, otherwise it will be very troublesome. In addition, if economic conditions permit, you need to transfer, and you can apply for tuition in exchange for permission. You can report them afterwards.
Of course, if you want to go to a special school or get into a university, they won't dare to keep you from going. However, if it is not because of changing the qualification to stay in school or enter school, then the language school still has the right and obligation to bind you.
If the communication is not good, it will be very troublesome.
