Death to all false neutrals!

You got it if you have no neutral load leave that terminal open on the breaker

I wouldn't complicate things. If you have screw terminal available use it. As long as it is rated for the awg (size) of wire you are working with you will be fine.

I'm personally in favor of twist locks in all my equipment. I've seen tons of range and dryer plugs and recepts fail over the years. I've only seen a couple twistlocks burn up. Typically range and dryer plugs get plugged in and stay there for years so they work fine for that type of use. If...

No, 500ma = .5a . you're going to need at least the motor load of 1.05a. Just to not burn up your power supply

If you have 10/3 hhng to your disconnect. hhg to your equipment.

I would just keep it simple. Install a gfci breaker in the panel on the new circuit that feeds your controller. Then run 10/2 romex to a L6-30r receptacle.

If you plan on running a 50a brew panel ever I strongly suggest running a minimum 60a sub feed circuit it the garage. Otherwise if you're going with the standard 30a set up you will only need 10awg wire to your control box. You see often people using dryer or range receptacles, a lot of times...

Id cross my fingers and hook up 240 volts to it, its likely just a typo. Much of the world runs at 200 or 220v. line to neutral.

Sub panel is only required to have grounding electrode (rod, plate, pipe... Depends on what is accepted where you live based on the soil) if it is a detached building.

A gfci does not need a equipment ground to function. It works by sensing when current is going somewhere that it is not intended. ( leakage)

That disconnect will work fine, you will just need something to splice the neutral if you have a four wire setup. a large wire nut would be adequate.

"Grounded conductor, grounding conductor, Grounding electrode / grounding electrode conductor. Learn the difference / understand the difference between these. Will help you tons before too lost

The quad breaker that somebody else suggested is probably your best bet if you plan on running a sub panel, just know that the tandem or quad breakers are engineered only to fit on the bottom five spaces on either side of the panel. You could also run the surge protector in parallel off...

Black and white for L1 and L2 ? Only ever use white as a neutral conductor.
