Windows explorer works fine. It'll open them if you tell it to use Wordpad to open them. They're just text files.

4x4 if you can. Not all cameras can. 3x3 works fine if you can't do 4x4.

I would not rely on calculations. Take a picture and open it up in Tools->Image link. Then have Tools->Image link do the plate solve. Let it determine the image scale as well, don't attempt to give it a known image scale. If it can't plate solve the image, then the automated side won't be able to either. Tweak until you can get Tools->Image link to successfully plate solve it. Then use whatever source extraction parameters worked there over in the automated side. You should only have to do this experimentation once with maybe very slight minor tweaks if any after that. I haven't touched my source extraction parameters in the last 14 months after first setting them.
