No - connect one end to tone control, other end should be stripped back and the exposed copper splayed around under bridge to get the best conductivity (i copper tape it) then screw the bridge down tight

No I just strip the wire section that’s under the bridge and spray the strands out - all you need is electrical conductivity.
you can replace it with a longer piece if you like.
I use copper shielding tape to stick the under bridge section in place and to give good grounding all over the control cavity
this is basschat - help is what we do. It’s not like you’re on talkbass here
Yes - any random piece of wire should go through the slanted hole into the control cavity and then to an earth point like the casing of a tone control - leave some copper wire exposed So that it makes contact with underside of bridge
this is all do-able
I totally corpsed them first time through nerves, tho the guitarist who’d given me my first shot was very generous. I got up and did it again a few weeks later and stormed it
So as Norris says, you did quite well
You really shouldn’t be following the singer, is one thing I’d say. The repeated sections question is one I only solved by learning to count them
i think you’re criticising yourself far too much though.
