1. I use a small cheap backpack that the rope gets flaked into and left at the belay to feed out. Tie a BF knot in the free end of your rope.
2. Roped soloing i use a Soloist with a chest harness per instructions for free and aid. If I could find a cheap RE Solo Aid I'd like to try it for aiding solo.
3. Free 75%/ aid 25%
4.I've taken several falls while roped soling free and aid climbing and all have been caught without incident.
Find what works for you and your comfort zone and have everything dialed in to the max under controlled circumstances before you venture out on your own. Learn to check, double and triple check your entire system by yourself. No one is above making errors or incurring just plain old bad luck, so stack the deck the best you can in your favor.
