question
There is a Mini USB beside the locking wheel which is covered by a rubber. I am wondering what is that for?

Can I use the grip without the battery installed when I want to use camera in portrait mode?
Not on the D7200. It doesn't work without a battery in it.

question
If you set up the battery order usage in the camera menu so that the camera battery is consumed first, it is then necessary to return to the menu after the camera battery is exhausted to engage the Vello grip battery, or will this happen automatically?
It's automatic.

question
On the front of the Vello BG-N11 D7100 grip there is, what looks like, a small USB port. What is this for?
It is a port. You plug one end into a plug charger (similar to a cell phone charger) to charge the battery without taking the battery out of the grip.Or, back in the early digital days, we had to plug our camera in to our computer to DL our photos. That is why you get a 2.0 usb plug with a smaller camera plug on the other end when you buy a new camera.

question
I have my grip for a little over a year now, and I am experiencing a problem of occasional power loss, and then I need to take out the battery drawer and put it back in. This usually solves the problem for a (short) while. Anyone else experiencing this?
I am seeing a similar thing. It will switch to camera battery until I open and close the grip battery door. It is infrequent though.
