There is no treaty that exempts grad students from federal income taxes on their US income. If you've been here for more than 5 years you may be able to file as a resident alien but that's the only change that I'm aware of.
2 :
You aren't exempt.
3 :
You are not exempt. There is no treaty making you exempt.
4 :
So, you are claiming you arrived in the US in 2005 or earlier and now are a resident alien for tax purposes. The treaty covers non-residents. If you meet the substantial presence test, article 15 doesn't apply. The student article doesn't exclude anything either.
