1. Yes
2. Use crushed coral or substitute.
3. If it's male. Longer dorsal fin, more colourful than female.
4. Yes, if correct conditions are provided.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Are there any ways to tell the difference in male and female dojo loaches?

1. i would do small water changes to help brings the nitrates down. ideal is 0, (but thats not possible unless your cycling) to 40, anything higher than that is too much.
2.pph up or down, doesnt really work for an extended period of time. it will just stress your fish in the drastic changes. do as cichlid man said

and the other two i have no idea but seems that cichlid man filled you in
