1) not needed for a level 1 cert flight, or for that matter most flying. while it does add some durability for transport and handling it will not save the rocket if it lawn darts into mud.

2)I would first consider how much room the recovery system needs (chute, shock cord, eye bolts etc.) and mount it leaving enough room for the recovery Plus space for the coupler shoulder and evebolt (iirc about 3" for shoulder and eye bolt), this will keep the chute from sliding and changing the cg.

3) typical install is into the aft centering ring, forward button in a location that will not snag the chute or shock cord, forward centering ring usually works.

4)probably yes to both. hth,
Rex
