P.S: Are all these definitions of a the differential
of a 0-form being a gradient, of d( 1-form) being
a curl and d( 2-form) a divergence the setup for
doing calculus on manifolds?.

No, they're a setup for doing calculus on 3-manifolds with metrics.
Only the gradient has meaning in the general case.
