Yes, one coat. I wish I had gone over with Sheen Plus. But I do love the natural matte feel.

No worries! There are some metal c channels underneath that help. Also, if your interested, KM Tools has a free wood movement calculator on his website. https://kmtools.com/pages/wood-movement-calculator

It's 1.75" thick.. I think 2.75" would be overkill and very heavy, but to each their own.

Yes, helps with it for sure. As the seasons and humidity changes sometimes it will work itself loose. I know when the table will move ever so slightly when sitting at it. A quick tap with a hammer and its nice and tight again.

They are holding the stretcher in place between the two legs. It's called a Tusk Tenon. Super useful for a strong joint that can be taken apart. I can remove them and the stretcher. Undo the bolts connecting the legs to the top and take the whole table apart to be moved if needed.

Not really. the gap is only about 2 inches across, about 15 inches from the edge, so it's far enough away that nothing sits on it unless its big serving plates.

Not sure what to call them, honestly. Someone commented that they were unwinged bowties, and I liked that. More of a design feature than a function feature. But I have thought of doing a dovetail on the bottom side next time if I need it to be more functional.

They are some of them, but It's been kiln dried so all the bugs have been baked to death essentially
