Q1) If you are a -f SD, I'd probably go for 3.5 cheap and moot the whole question 
Only the heavy200 and the ED are past en9. So en can even be taken expensive if you must. The ED is very cool though. en+prop both normal is fine. Prop expensive without IFE/NRSE is probably unwise. Resist the temptation to go weap normal. The game you take weap normal, will be the game that you'll find yourself sandwiched between two or three hostile -f WM races.
Q2) SD can get away with el expensive even more easily than most races, since the minefield scan helps. Jammers suit you well, used in conjunction with exploding minelayers and the energy dampener, but the the j10 comes at only el10. But 'ever any reason'... Well if you are not NAS and want to trade penscans, that'd be a reason.
Q3) Yes, you can take it exp. As you say, you'll stop at bio7 for quite a while (for -f SD, you'll probably *never* go past bio 7)
Q4) The slowing effect persists for the duration of the battle.
Q6) Your breeders should be breeding until all your other worlds are full. So that's more like 350 resources max per breeder. The <75% worlds you will fill up completely - these will be your heavy manufacturing worlds in mid game. In late game, you'll eventually fill everything, of course. But late game shouldn't occur - you are -f, you should have won before 'late game' is reached.
