Air elimination is typically handled by the system's air eliminator. Should you need to drain the water from the system, you can use the drain valve on the boiler.
The 4,800 BTU output listed for the UF-2-96 is based on 180°F water temperatures. This rating drops to 2,800 BTUs at 140°F. Most baseboard applications use 180°F - 200 °F water. If you use lower water temperatures, more baseboard may be necessary.
These baseboard units are normally used on pressured systems. You would connect copper to the supply/return.
This unit is probably a little small for a space that size. The only way to get a precise BTU requirement would be to perform a heat-loss calculation, but we do offer a BTU Calculator that can help you get a good estimate (see link below). http://www.pexsupply.com/pex/control/BTUCalculator
Any hot water baseboard will work, but keep in mind that radiant heat uses lower water temperatures than baseboard. You must size the baseboard based on the water temperature being used. Lower water temperatures will require a greater length of baseboard.
Runtal baseboards are for hot water systems, not steam systems.
Yes, you could if you wanted to.
You can; it would not be a problem.

These baseboard radiators can only be used in closed loop systems. They will not work in a steam system, either. They're made out of cold rolled steel.
