Thanks for answers in advance.

Using the serial port for general purpose I/O is not very practical.
Linux (and *nix in general) is designed to require an "Operator's Console".
On the Kindle, that is the serial port.
So to use the serial port for another purpose, you first need to find something else that the Linux kernel can use as the Operator's Console.
(That is possible - just not easy, even for an expert.)
Better that you use some sort of network connection to the Kindle for your project.

Your other questions are too general to give specific answers to.
