The difference is

* "auto" enables validation and the build in trust anchor for the
  Internet root-dns zone
* "yes" enables validation, but the BIND 9 configuration needs to have a
  trust-anchor manually configured (via "trusted-keys" or "managed-keys"
  statements)

When using BIND 9 for Internet DNS name resolution, "auto" is the
recommended setting. "yes" can be used for lokal, non-Internet
trust-anchor or for a local signed copy of the root-zone.

well, only DNS resolvers that do DNSSEC validation (send the AD flag)
reachable over a trusted network.

BIND 9 can have forwarders, but these forwarders should pass the DNSSEC
records without changes. If the forwarders strip out data, DNSSEC
validation fails.

In general it is recommended to not use forwarders until there is a
very good case for it (like no direct connection to the Internet on port
53).

There is nothing wrong with direct iterative name resolution, it is
usually faster than using forwarders.
