1. Yes (mostly) - 10 meters might require a tuner for the high end.
2. Either works but I user insulated stranded.
3. 468/F = total length. Cut about a foot longer to cover the twists and wire interaction.
4. This works fine on a tree, mine does. Make PVC standoffs about 6" long to go between the wires. Mine is only about 20 feet up
5. Yes all the wire attach the same points. The signal will find the correct wire.
6. RG-58 is fine up to 100 feet and if you are going to run 100 watts or less.
7. Yes. Right now mine is setup for 17, 20 and 40 but I will probably add 10 and 12 sometime. BTW 15 meters will load up on a 40 meter wire just fine.
8. The Dipole is the standard antenna. It will perform well, just last night I worked Hamburg Germany on 20 meters off mine with 100 watts. Yes you could add a 11 meter one if you wanted to.
