If you purchased the audiophile edition, I can answer 1, 2, 4, and 5.

For #3, when you install BIAB, you are asked if you want to install the plugin. When you say Yes, there are many locations to choose from. If in doubt, check the checkboxes. Then, in your DAW, do a Re-scan of your plugins. Some DAWs will do this automatically; I don't know about Reaper.

I am not a fan of USB hubs, even those that are powered, when I have a choice to plug directly into the computer.
