The AV valves open when the blood pressure exerted on their atrial side is greater than that of the ventricle side. This will happen when blood returning to the heart fills the atria and puts pressure against the valve.
When intraventricular pressure rises the AV valves close.
The AV valves open when atrial pressure is highest. And they are closed during ventricular systole.

yes during ventricular systole AV valves are closed.
Yes, until there is a rocker arm or camshaft installed to press valves open.
With springs.
The best way to tell if the valves are closed is to observe the rocker arms. When they are both at the top of their travel, valves are closed. Feel the rocker arms and try to move them, if they move their at the top of their travel.
Semilunar valves are open when the blood is being pumped. The AV valves are closed when the semilunar valves are open.
Safety valves are required on all closed pressure vessels.
