You own the copyright, you can licence it out for a specific use like prints etc. You can still use the piece in your portfolio. The exception is if you give up/sell the copyright. Then it is no longer yours and the client can do as they wish with it. 'Work for hire' contracts normally ask for transfer of copyright. You can use it in your portfolio if they give you permission.
Always have a contract. Join the associationofillustrators (uk) or graphic arts guild in the usa for advice on this. The society of authors has info too.
Royalties are common in publishing, but not many other places as far as I know. It will depend on the contract. Book covers or one-off illustrations don't usually give royalties.

I don't advise any artist use Fiverr. It's a race to the bottom, price wise. Bad for artists, bad for the industry (imho).
Good luck!
You could check out Illustration Age who have lots of professional resources for illustrators! Unfortunately I only have a link to a UK specific book that you can buy with templates etc. in! But if you're interested, it's called 'The Illustrator's Guide To Law & Business Practice'. I'm sure there are similar books for other countries but this is what I use as i'm based in the UK (:
I would really suggest you look at joining your illustrator's union or association as they are really helpful for this sort of stuff. I am a member of mine and it's worth the annual membership fee purely for the pricing information/copyright advice and contracts they provide me with!
