You need a 66 qt tub so 18 gal is about right

That one is big enough but I'd recommend getting a clear one. Sterilite makes a clear 66qt that is perfect

A 18 gallon roughneck which you describe is fine... sub level should be 4" so the center of your 2.5" holes should go at least 5 3/4" from the bottom for proper clearance

The pics above is a 66qt and the lower holes are about 4 inches from the bottom
I like to have between 1.5 and 2 inch holes but 1 inch will probably work

Plants use water to grow. It won't use a ton of water but if you pluck it it so t use any water.

It won't actually grow, man. It will die as a sprout and get consumed by the myc if it is left.
No worries there

it's more or less showing how much fresh air is coming in, the beads of moisture on the surface give you your 100% humidity where it matters, if you see no condensation you may be taking intoo much fresh air

0-10 ounces, depending on your conditions, genetics, potential contams, and so on.

Point it away from the tub, do not let it oscillate, run it 24/7.
