A lot of really good questions! You're wise to do your research before you start spending money.

It makes sense to target the Indian market, as that is really the point of the extension. Some people like to make hacks (e.g. cha.in for chain) but I don't think there is a lot of value in that.

That's something you learn as you go along.
Spend some time going through the appraisals forum:

Review previous domain sales to see what sells and at what prices:

I don't think you can directly compare .in values with values of the same keyword in other extensions. There are too many differences between the two.

That's going to depend on your business plan. Some people buy to quickly flip; others buy as long term investments. Each plan has its advantages and disadvantages.

Depends how many domains you've got. If you've got a lot, there is no way to develop websites for all of them. It probably makes sense to put small websites up on the more valuable domains.
