Hi InquisitiveMai​,

  1. Can you create a LAG between 3.0 and 7.0? Yes, you can.
  2. Plan on using a 10G link for HA. Ok, proceed. :)
  3. Yes, leave disk size as recommended. No need for advanced or manual configurations.
    Read here about tenant image types and sizes:

  4.  

     You can setup a tenant with 18vCPUs. If you want to downsize the tenant and redistribute the CPUs, you have to power off the tenant.
    Same if you want to increase the CPU count of a tenant.
