1. depends on what you're making, what size gauge you need, and how tight your stitches are. I use a G or H which is pretty standard.
2. For the crochet thread I would use sizes 6, 7 or 8.
3. depends on what your making and how tight you want it to be!
4. Usually with crochet thread you need to use a much smaller hook, then you would use with yarn. Check the pattern instructions, It will tell you the size needle you need.
5. I want to be sure of your terms. You said "4-ply crochet thread." Well, the term "4-ply" generally refers to crochet YARN, such as that used to make afghans and granny squares. The term "crochet thread" generally refers to the balls of thread that look like string, which are used to make doilies and tablecloths. The kinds of crochet "hooks" are different depending on whether you mean "yarn" or "thread." The "4-ply yarn" will use the aluminum hooks, and the standard sizes used with 4-ply yarn range from D through K, with F, G, and H the most used. The higher the letter, the larger the hook. The "crochet thread" will use the steele hooks, which range from 0 (zero) to 12, with 7, 8, 9, and 10 the most used. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. So, determine the type of crochet material you are using: yarn or thread, and choose either aluminum or steele hooks accordingly. Happy crocheting!
