How does countering an attack / ability work in Arena 1v1

How does countering an attack / ability work in Arena 1v1 - Theater Chairs

I know countering is different based on different class but in general, is countering based on the following and if not, then what:

  1. Abilities that you have leveled up: Are counter options dependent on what abilities you have chosen?
  2. Abilities that enemy has leveled up: Are your counters dependent on enemy abilities? Do your counter options change if the opponent does/doesn't have a particular ability?
  3. Is countering based on RNG? There have been instances when I apparently countered an enemy ability while doing nothing.
  4. Does counter always result in a stun? Does it do any damage in return?

Follow up question: Is countering (not evade or block) possible in PvE?
