2. When someone is all-in. If someone goes all in for less than the size of the big blind more than 1 player can call that all-in. Some people think you have to put in the big blind value. eg. the blinds are at 200-400. I've only got another 300 and I go all-in. 2 players want to call my all-in. They should be allowed to match my 300 and then that's it, whether there are more streets to come or not. Again, some people seem to think they would have to put in a minimum of 400, resulting in a side pot of 200. This is incorrect.

What you have stated is incorrect
if player 1 goes all in for 300 and the BB is 400, then any other player who enters the pot MUST put the size of the big blind in (400) of course the pot can be also raised.
So a side pot is created as you correctly state, as the turn and river are dealt the 2 players left will bet into the side pot.
Lets make an example on your theory:
Player 1 after the flop goes all in for 300 more BB is 400, player 3 calls 300, and player 5 raises 1200.. player 3 folds (but hang on he has only put in 300) BB is 400 so the guy who raised is losing out here!...make sense? thats why no matter who before you has gone all in you must at least bet the size of the BB...phew i think that makes sense
