1. You can use whatever length your comfortable with.
2. Some people like to have the boat put in idle and have the board pushed to their feet in the water and then get up like a wakeboard and others like to hold one hand on the rope and one on the skate and when the boat starts to quickly put both hands on the rope. There are different routines people use in getting up.
3. You can use any type of shoe you want or you can use no shoes at all. Wakeskate made shoes are made to dry out faster than normal shoes.
4. Most people think wakeskating is harder.

I ride 5 feet shorter when wakeskating to make it easier to (try and) cross the wake.
