This is used when displaying multiple images on a terminal window, and 
holds the index of the images in the cache.

Correct.

These are the width/height of the original image to draw.

These parameters are for the actual image drawn on the window. Probably 
's' stands for 'seen' or 'shown'. 'sx' and 'sy' are offsets from 'x' and 
'y' respectively.

Yes, w3m uses these to redraw partly drawn images from cache when 
scrolling.

Animation frames are also drawn as separate images, so yes.

But if you need to tweak these n and s parameters, I'd suggest calling  
w3m directly and letting it handle the details.
