I can't answer all your questions. You may want to post these on the MSF5000 group.
I will say that the front panel Squelch knob is only active when the ACC DIS switch is raised. This also shuts off internal repeat, stops the CW ID from firing, etc. Depending on how you connect your controller to the station, you may or may not be able to cause it to transmit when this switch is set. There are two other squelch circuits and pots; you'd probably be better off using one of these instead of the front panel knob. You can get raw, un-muted, not-de-emphasized RX audio from one of the test points on the SCM. The various "Control" fields that can be set to S, C, SC, ON, OFF, etc., mainly control the signals that are required to pass audio to the transmitter. You probably want to set them to S, but if you'll be using the internal MSF controller for PL/DPL, you want these set to SC. If you'll be using an external repeater controller, you definitely want the MSF set as a BASE station, not a repeater. So I think your choices that eliminate or disable internal repeating are correct.
