Never used backlash so cant really help too much but it does work on the lathe the same as mill except possibly on the X depending on whether you are in Rad or Dia mode.
200 rpm may be too slow but it will depend on dia, material, cutter type and material.
Not sure what you are meaning in Q3 possibly you are using a wizard that gives you guides for major/minor? If so then it may be assuming you are using a sharp tool and you may using a tool with the coorect root radius ground into it.
How good you will manage to do threading will depend on how good your machine is, how accurate the screws are, whether your spindle has enough power, whether your axis have enough power.
