Lots of questions.
You can measure up the float too, but dropping the piston on the post with no stack. Then subtract each shim and your float will be what's left. The number doesn't need to be 'exact' as long as your method allows you to know where you have started roughly and what influence your changes make. I think I ended up around .35mm float in the end.
Left the ICS alone. Softer ones may help, but as the system works as a whole it's a balancing act. No issues having free play on the ICS spring really, however it kind of defeats the purpose as you'll have no positive ICS pressure acting at full extension. Similar to the PFP on the marzocchis.. it's a tuning variable too.
I have always used around 16cSt@40 fluid in mine (inner and out) because I have a carton of the stuff. I use it in all my forks and shocks. 310-325mls in the outers.
