You can, as long as your boiler is an open system.
We recommend a 100psi test for 24 hours.
You would need to find the freezing point of the glycol mixture you will be using. There will likely be problems with the pumps and similar system parts before there would be an issue with the tubing. Mixtures of glycol and water have been known to go below 0°F.
If you require more flow, we would recommend using the 1" PEX.
It meets the same ratings and has the same approval codes.
PEX is not freeze-proof. If water freezes inside of it, PEX may burst (as any sort of pipe could under such circumstances). PEX has been proven, however, to resist freezing more effectively than copper or iron. In any normal residential application, PEX will be able to function under extreme temperatures. As long as water is drained from the pipes when the system is not in use (i.e. in a cold-climate vacation home), there should not be an issue.
1/2" tubing would be ideal.
The color does not change what the PEX can be used for. It is only produced in different colors to make installation less confusing. Installers do usually use red for hot and blue for cold (to make identification simpler). Theoretically, however, they could use blue for hot and red for cold. White PEX just gives installers yet another option.
Rifeng PEX tubing only meets CSA B137.5 standards
Yes, you can. Shark Bite fittings work with all non-aluminum PEX.
