Tooth it, and that will reduce chances of the render cracking
I haven't done much brickwork, just a bit. Is this something to leave to the brickies or easy enough as once rendered you won't see it?
Block tooth bond then
Starting at the bottom, take out the quarter brick and the two three quarter bricks, snap off half the brick that's left sticking out and you'll have a slot to fit a block in. Leave the next three courses of bricks alone then repeat up the wall.

Yes. But you'll probably need to take 3 courses out to fit a block in.
Doesn't matter.
One every second course. Size depends on cavity but it won't matter, use what you have/can get.
Yes.
Yes, if it's sound, give it a bash with a hammer to check it doesn't break up.
Superb Thankyou so much for your help. It really is appreciated!!7n (heavy) for the outside, either for the inside. You often find that blocks are a bit narrower than bricks so you should have a reasonable cavity. Use cavity batts for insulation, they'll compress a bit if necessary.
