>>34685148For a while, yes. Don't expect it to be equivalent to a program with access to conventional equipment.
>>34684930Yes.
>>34684209Weight fluctuates. Increased water retention, food, and glycogen all contribute to weight spikes.
It's a good idea to go by a 7 day average for your weight if you insist on weighing daily. It evens out the jumps a bit.

~1.5g protein/lb LBM
Fats and carbs will vary based on goals and dietary preference.
>>34682842Depends. If it's hampering your progress (lifts are stalling, you're tired going into the gym, etc.) cut it back.
>>34682497Bodybuilding is all about proportions. Any thickening of your core from squats and deadlifts should be nothing to worry about when compared to the corresponding growth of your lats, chest, and shoulders - they'll get bigger much faster than your core.
>>34682469It's honestly going to be difficult to progress working out only 2 days a week. On the bright side, you can still maintain strength with reduced volume and frequency - if you keep your diet in check and can hit say 3x5 on your lifts, you can probably minimize your LBM loss until your schedule clears up.
>>34682421It's honestly to be expected that your joints will be strained when you're that heavy and running.
If this continues, try including some other cardio that isn't quite as hard on your joints (swimming, biking, elliptical, etc.). You don't need to cut out running completely, but alternating it with something less impact heavy might be good.
>>34681049Yes.
>>34680952Could be fat, could be fat + loose skin. Majority of it is likely going to be fat.
No use worrying about it this early on. Keep in mind that it's likely you still have a ways to go to lean out. If you're concerned or want a bf estimate, post a pic.
