Tint percentage is different in every state almost, some it's illegal all together. I have always used 15 to 20% on almost every application. If you don't want to go too dark 20-25% is pretty nice, anything up to 30% will still be decent, anything over that starts to look like you don't even have tint. 5% is "limo" tint I believe, its the worst, hard to see in and hard to see out, but looks cool. It would get you pulled over faster then anything. I would shoot for something 20-30%.

Yes, If you have a heated garage its one thing, but tint needs to set properly, at least 24 to 48 hours before you even think about rolling down the window.

It would probably be a good idea to hold off till the ambient temp is around 60* F or so. It may take longer to dry properly any lower then that.
