1. Depends how much accuracy you really want, compare backlash specs for standard and anti-backlash pairs. You decide.
2. Pass
3. Yes is will have higher inertia. Unless you want super performance then no.
4. Pass
5. Pitch effects the resolution and the force applied to the workpiece at given speeds. Read the document linked to above to understand that relationship.
6. Should I aim for 300 IPM? I don't want it to dance around like a ballerina in the nutcracker!
200IPM I think is very fast indeed
