Hey Cos !
I've been here quite a while now and got a LOT of help from others (thanks all you guys!) but until now I've felt unable to help others cause there is Sooo many more experienced hangers here than me. But, I have a modded HH, a Blackbird on the way (thanks Brandon..) and a very similar tarp setup as you have so here goes.....
I use zing-it for the ridge-line and shock cord and zing-it for the guy lines. On one end of the ridge line I use a mini biner on a prussic (four turns) or a Kleimheist. On the other I use a F9 on a prussic. When I'm tying off the end that uses the F9, I put a sippery half hitch in for security. I've been using this system for about a year, so to try and answer your questions...........
1. Yes, but (I use the slippery half hitch for security)
2. Definately yes!
3. I have used it for about a year with very minor fraying
4. Yes, but you need to use four turns or a kleimheist knot is good (it's slippery stuff)
5. Nope...
6. I'm from N. Ireland....don't know who the cubs are..?? baseball team?....anyway, Yes..
Your last question really depends on your type of tarp and size of snakeskins and if it's a Hennessy mod etc. I'm sure the other guys will chime in here and put things straight but I hope it was of some help....
I really like my tarp setup and it works great just need to upgrade now..!!
Tom the cub for the world series ?!!?....lol
