This is periodically discussed ITT. It's really hard to get a meaningful sample broken down by day of the week. But anecdotally and by the eye test, weekend games should be better. Maybe 30% better, maybe 50% or more, it'll depend on how well you adapt between a tighter game and a looser game really. An adaptive player will make more in general in both games, while a static player will see more of a difference.

Depends on how well you exploit random players vs. players you have history with (seriously, there are guys I can bluff off a set). You're probably more likely to get paid off by a random and have less FE in bluffing type spots, unless your locals think you're an aggrotard and those'll be flipped.
If we're talking straight ABC simple stuff, being unknown is good for you though.

I think your baseline strategy is OK. I'm not thrilled with the idea of sitting with a single BI for a game though. I'd rather sit down when I can peel off at least 2. If you get it in good and lose, and the table is juicy, you want to be able to stay.
Otherwise, I'd say to play the table selection more by ear. If the game *looks* good, and/or you know some of the other players from your $2/5 experience ... sit. If the game looks bad but your other criteria are still met ... play elsewhere.
