1. just take my word for it.
2. if you care about improving bench, then you should bench. DB benching and actual benching are not the same exercise. so yes, i'd bench both days. just do 3x5 both days. start light and add weight every workout until you can't anymore, then add once a week. ride newbie gains as long as you can and only get complicated when you need to.
3. haha, it's not a bad idea to have a lower body pulling exercise like DLs but i don't think it's necessary given your goals. put everything you've got into those squats and let the assistance work be assistance work.

sounds good man, I don't know how much more newbie gains I can squeeze out haha but hope this bulk and abnormally high amount of protein will stimulate the same steroidlike gains I made when I was 16-17. I wanna see the daily PR's again!

Don't hold your breath.
Even if you took anabolic steroids ( which are no match to high protein, totally different worlds ), they are trying to replicate testosterone's effects. When you were 16-17 it was her majesty itself ( testosterone ) that sealed the deal.
Not trying to bring you down, just a reality check. You are 18 so maybe there is still some magic dust left. And even if there isn't it doesn't mean you can't PR like crazy.

Hahaha, yeah I miss those days. Looking back, I wish that I had tried to bulk up even more then I did... I'm slowly realizing that if I hadn't started training for my vertical originally and found Lance and this site through its progression, I might still be 110lb or some ish. :o

But still, not gonna let myself waste the little post-puberty magic I might have in me, need to bulk up now so that I have a good framework to build off later.
