1) I agree a resevoir or some sort of T-fitting and fill tube should be used to bleed air from the system, however I probably wouldn't recommend mounting the pump in the resevoir. Just get a small resevoir.

2) the D-Tek rad and the Maze 2 are full copper, so use only a plastic/PVC or copper rad. Aluminum will highly raise corrosion.

3) Yes

4) If you can mount and feel you need two fans it's an option, but one will likely be all that's required. Most people find better results with it mounted about an inch from the rad with a shroud of some sort (cardboard and tape if required).

5) It doesn't make any real differance other than during filling. After filled fluid circulates the system with enough speed to move the bubbles out of the rad easily. Do try to mount the resevoir on the highest point of a hose, this way when you shut the pump off the bubbles in that hose will collect in the resevoir. Do however make sure that at least one fitting is on the top side of the rad (ie rad flat, on it's side, or both fittings up) if the fittings are both down it will be very difficult to get air out of the rad regardless of where it's mounted.

If your not going to run a peltier, just Water Wetter, Distilled Water and Hose Clamps. If pelting start researching condensation prevention!!!
