That's pretty much right on.
#1 is pretty important, as part of your preparation you should "chair-fly" at home, runninging through all of the manuevers, flows, and checklists verbatim, while moving your hands to the imaginary controls.
You want LEARN the manuevers at home, and PRACTICE the manuevers in the airplane. Otherwise it gets pretty expensive pretty fast.
Your instructor should be refining your flying technique:
"OK, a little more back pressure"
"Watch the bank angle"
"A little more right rudder"
You do not want your instructor to be spending a lot of time teaching you the order in which to do things...these kinds of things you can learn on your own before you fly:
"No, gear up first, THEN flaps!"
"What did you just forget?"
"What do you always do before starting a manuever?"
