That is supposed to be an implementation detail of your proposal. What do
you
think would be the best?

Even if it is an independent project we strongly encourage you to use bzr,
as
integration and code review might become a problem in later stages of your
project( I am speaking from personal experience). Learning bzr and launchpad
is not at all difficult if you know git.

It is not *necessary* for you to hangout on IRC. You just need to keep
your mentors updated about what are you doing all the time. If you prefer
email, I don't think that would be a problem. Your only responsibility
is to deliver the project you proposed on time.

4.Can I start coding right away?

You can, but first be sure you know what you want to code. Your proposal
does have a detailed description on working of the tool, however there is
little mention about the details of implementation and design. It would
be best if you first consult with your mentors and decide on something so
that you don't waste time writing code that is not needed.
