Do I need to freeze the bowl first?

No. The FastFreeze Max has a built-in freezer bowl, so you can churn right away. Give it time to refreeze between batches.

About 0.5 quarts, roughly a pint. That is two to four small servings.

It makes soft-serve texture. For firmer ice cream, transfer the batch to a container and freeze it longer.

Yes. Add them near the end of the churn so they mix in without breaking down.
