1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes
4. Yes.

If you are planning on growing plants rather than reptiles, then you will need a lot more lighting than that. Try getting 30w CFLs, 14w won't cut it.

The ones at walmart work fine you don't have to spend on a specialty light. Just go to walmart and get a few 30w blues. They are great to slow veg under.

you cant add the two kelvin ratings together to make a higher one there specific numbers. 6500 k puts out more of a blue light great for green leafy foliage use that for your veg room. and to bud the plant out use the 2700 k it puts out more of a red light which is great for budding

If you want to have some decent production I would go with some 400w hps for flowing at the very least you can however veg the plants under those mentioned above and do pretty well.
