To add this case, follow the situation 2 as below, keeping the check
box off :) Later on, when creating futher test versions (like 4.2,
4.3), we "branch" version 0.

Yes, as I understand, the first situation is the *only* chance to add
a test case to all existing versions in batch.

Nah, VERSION is a Moztrap internal concept tightly related with test
case, instead of instructions.

Good idea, I also want to have a contribution list in a visible place.

The features were not in Moztrap at the moment, but I'd love to put it
on my working list :) For your specific idea, would you like to open
an enhancement bug and assign it to me?

The status is for the whole test case.

It looks like that, see upstream test case for Moztrap:
