Yes
Yes
New equipment, kit, harness, amp wiring, mdf, edead, whatever else you want
No problem
Oh by the way, I'm an MECP certified installer so this stuff is cake for me, I do it almost every day.... So my opinion of easy is biased, but the tC is a very easy car to work on.

I did mine by myself. (With a little help from a friend.) I didn't want my tC to be the 'guniea pig' of an amateur installer. Plus, I wanted to save the install $$$ for more goodies! It's not bad at all just time-consuming. Taking apart the tC (although it's really easy) is a pain! You could DIY in probably one day. (That's going slow and taking your time.) Hard to say what you need to install when you haven't told us what you have equipment-wise.

Hyghgynx nailed it. For me it was very time consuming, as I took my time to make sure I didn't break/scratch up anything (even though I still scratched stuff 
). I also laid about 100 sq.ft. of eDead. The actual process is easy as pie though if you follow mandos's tC gutting guide.

LoL you gotta do some research first about amps, subs, wiring and sound deadening before asking some of these questions. You can find anything on the internet. You also need to take account into how much money you have to spend.
What are you looking for in a sound system?? You want bass that will be heard from down the street or are you just like me, you just wants a little more bass to fill out the sound.
Here's what I have planned:
Kenwood KSC-SW1- A 6.5 inch wooofer and passive radiator. It's just good enough for me since I really don't like the heart pounding bass as everyone else does.
Alpine SPS-171A Component Speakers (for the front)- Just upgrading the stock speakers for some much needed highs.
Alpine SPS-17C2 Coiaxel Speaker- For the rear.
Pioneer GM-6200F (4 channel amp to power speakers)
