RE: redistribute connected

Actually, you do not need to specify metric for connected route, when
doing redistribution.

For connected routes, RIP defaults the metric to 0. EIGRP default metric
to the interface metric. OSPF defaults it to 20 external Type 2. I've
never tried it with ISIS.

You need to specify metrics for RIP & EIGRP for non connected routes
though.

You can easily verify it with labbing with 2 router, R1 --- R2.

It depends on the protocol you are distributing in, seed metric is a
requirement of distance vector and eigrp as their default metric for
redistributed routes is infinity. In case of isis redistributed routes
have a metric of 0. So it depends in which protocol you are
re-distributing your connected networks.
