You will have to use HePEX. AquaPEX is for a plumbing systems (not heating systems) because it does not have an oxygen barrier.
2" is probably your best bet: if you keep on adding units, you will have no problems with flow.
There is not; PEX cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. PEX that is outside must either be buried or enclosed in a PVC sleeve.
It is usually recommended. Unless there is a window in your garage that will expose the tubing to direct sunlight, you only need to sleeve it at the spot where the tubing exits the concrete. This will prevent potential abrasion from the concrete when the PEX expands. You can sleeve the tubing with an electrical conduit.
3/4" AquaPEX should be fine if you have a standard, one bathroom cabin. If there are a lot of fixtures in the cabin, you will probably need to go with the 1" tubing.
We think AQUAPEX would be a great choice for this application. For information from the manufacturer on the differences between PEX and PVC, please look at the following document: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1297449192135/47274_PROD_FILE.pdf
Placing PEX in direct sunlight or painting it is not advised. We recommend that you install the PEX in a PVC sleeve for this application.
PEX is generally more freeze-resistant than copper because it has greater flexibility.
Pex ratings classify the methods by which tubes are produced and processed. Generally, a higher pex rating (i.e. 'A') means that tubing is of higher quality. 'A' tubes are most consistent with the expansion rate. In certain applications (pex buried in concrete, etc.), the rating will be meaningless.
Yes, you can.
