1. I've heard it working and not working. I'd use a separate one just in case.
2. No. I use the usa 59 that I bought when i first bought a gamecube for import games. I bought a larger one for all my other games.
Not sure about 3-6.

Don't buyfrom lik-sang, horrible shipping times. Get it from estarland. I got mine in a little over a week with cheapest (about 4 bucks) shipping.

Play-Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-48-15-Naruto-70-9qa.html) also has it for US$64.90. Their cheapest shipping is $3.10, Air Economy Bubble. I'm not sure on shipping at Lik-Sang, but you should already know what that is...

1. Yes, you do need a seperate memory card to save Japanese files. If you try to save Japanese files onto a memory card with US files already, it'll tell you to reformat the memory card.
2. It doesn't matter if it's US or Japanese. As long as you don't have cross save files on the memory card, you should be fine.
3. Umm...I'm not sure about your Action Replay that you have. But check if it has the FreeLoader feature. Either on the package itself, or by booting up the Action Replay disc. If it doesn't have it, you're gonna have to buy a newer version of Action Replay.
4. Don't know.
5. I don't.
6. Other posters have listed the price from two other import sites that I frequent other than lik-sang.com.

If you love puzzle games, definitely check out Nintendo Puzzle Collection. I'd buy it just for Tetris Attack alone (I <3 Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League). Oh, I've never played it myself, but I've read some good reviews for the Shaman King fighting game.
Get PAL Dosin the Giant. It is in English.

I, also was going to suggest Doshin and NPC.
What is Doshin? (http://194.192.82.242/doshin/)
Nintendo Puzzle Collection @ Play-Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-4a-15-Nintendo%2BPuzzle%2BCollection-70-23g.html)
Good luck finding NPC anywhere else, or Doshin anywhere at all.

Hard to explain but think Black and White (PC). As for 4 players fighting game, check out DreamMix TV: World Fighters (think SMBM with Konami/Hudson character)

Most Qs ppl already answered you. Here is my input :
1. I have heard once you save the file on one memory card, you can copy it over and it will not screw up the US data in that same memory card. It's been tested. But again if you already have another memory card to start with.. why bother mix them up.
2. Don't matter. Just get both US.
3. Probably.
4. Lik-sang is alright, when it says free shipping, it should not have the shipping cost listed. You need to contact them first, maybe this is an error. Also free shipping takes at least takes 3 weeks (1 week of getting item out, 2 weeks of air time). Extremely slow. Use this unless you dont' need the product right away
5. I thought their codes are all one time only? This will be tough to find.
6. Price are most likely similar - in the ball park. Lik-sang did have 59.99 for naruto 3 and free shipping earlier this year. Now it's back up to 64 i beleive.
There really aren't that many great import game in my opinion.
Gundam series is not bad, Super robot war GC is decent. But if you have no idea what these titles are, then don't even bother. I don't think there is a good import title that's simlar to powerstone. Naruto is as close as you can find but it does not have obstacles in the battle stages, just open ground.

To the best of my knowledge, no, there isn't any other way to play import PS2 games on an NTSC-U PS2 console without modding it or modifying it in some way.
