1. Having never made chapbooks, I don't know what programs are out there specifically for chapbooks. Normally, my writing program of choice is FrameMaker, only because it can generate books, indices, TOCs, etc. And it allows you to do "chapters" which is nifty. But that's a technical writing program that I can see easily being used to create chapbooks.
I guess are you printing yourself or taking to a printer?
2. The chapbooks I have are about 20-24 so pages, and some are only 10 pages long. Basically, enough for a short read, but long enough that you can get through a cup of tea easily (or at least that's my interpretation)
3) I've known authors to both sell and give chapbooks away. I think it depends on how you want to use them.
4. I guess that depends on how big a convention you're going to and whether or not you're selling them. I would bring less numbers if you're planning on giving them away, just to make them "special", and more if you're planning to sell them.
