Coffee filters are the absolutely worst material. They do not filter out contaminant spores, they are made for straining coffee...

Either get sterile water from a pharmacy or just boil tap water.

A fruiting chamber must be able to provide 3 things: correct temperature, sufficient fresh air exchange and correct relative humidity. The last two are most important. The best options IMO are either a Shotgun FC or a Poor man's pod.
The shotgun FC has wet perlite on bottom and holes drilled on all sides, even on the bottom, so the airflow through the bottom will wick moisture in the air inside the FC.
Poor man's pod has water & geolite or some other brand of LECA at the bottom, and an airstone under the water connected by a hose to an aquarium air pump. This will blow air constantly into the FC through water, thus the air that enters will be at perfect humidity.
In both cases you get better results by also fanning & misting the FC regularly.

No. If your room temperature is at least 70F, you don't need an incubator at all. If your room temperature is colder, set your incubator at 75 degrees.

Build a glovebox. That's the best sanitary method you can do short of constructing or buying a laminar flowhood.

Anything between 5-20 grams, depends on lots of things.
