1.) 2pass and CRF are more or less the same. (If anything, CRF has a slight advantage because it doesn't need to re-adjust to hit the target)
2.) Yes, no problem at all. Just use --level and --vbv-maxrate/--vbv-bufsize.
3.) It's not recommended at all. That's like asking whether you should stab your eyes with a knife or a fork.
4.) "Wrong" in what way?
5.)/6.) That's what is done by default. You can further adjust using --qcomp. (e.g. --tune grain is designed for more even bit distribution and is suitable for high bitrates)
7.) --vbv-maxrate 3000 --vbv-bufsize 15000. (Try a forum search, there should be several threads covering this more deeply.)
9.) --bitrate 3000 --vbv-maxrate 3000 --vbv-bufsize 3000 (or vbv-bufsize 1 to limit buffer to size of a single frame. but it's a stupid thing to do. choose buffer as big as possible for real life streaming. for archiving you don't need vbv at all)
