Some notes:

1. It is okay to have lots of images in an EPUB but be careful to mark them as decorative if that's the case. In Object Export Options under ALT text, there is a way to mark them as decorative.

2. The usual process. You don't need to do anything special, it just make take longe because the file is larger.

3. You can, but it's not required.

4. An EPUB from InDesign is fine for Kindle. You should be cautious to check that it looks as expected in Kindle Previewer before uploading.

Reflowable EPUB is not a suitable format for an image-heavy document and unfortunately Fixed Layout EPUB is really not a very good format at all.
