There better kits and better products out there. I wouldn't suggest buying from just one company, like Dodo. Sure some products are good but I'd want to spend my money wisely, once.
Zenith technique on both works well, although better with the rotary as you're more likely to incur holograms.
Area wise, I usually go 50cm by 50cm when correcting/polishing/compounding. For filler products, such as the ones described by Dave above, usually larger areas as the products allow me...
As mentioned above.
Clio paint is usually around the medium mark, but it is always a case by case basis. The art is to remove the least amount of clearcoat possible, something that a lot of people still do not understand!
I would suggest looking at the 3M system as it is more easy to follow...
It'll likely have pig tailing as well from DA sanding marks. Sadly, these appear to be unavoidable from a bodyshop's POV. Since you know what swirls are, do you intend to correct them?
Yes. Of course. And if you didn't, imagine the feeling when you get your renewal through and it's through the roof?
It's up to them to get it right first time, second time or as many times as are required.
You will not need anything more than a G220/Kestrel DAS-6 dual action machine. You could look into the Pro version of the DAS-6 as well;

You said you were going to buy a better car, then splash out. Don't bother mate. I was going to buy a few mods for the Audi but thought back to how I felt when I wasted 4k on my clio.
Both fella.
I sent my bottle up to Kev/Gally. Only about two weeks old. It arrived rock solid.
GTechniq are pretty good about it and sometimes replace batches, but at several months old you'll struggle.
