Hi Tazz, Lets see if I can help a tad here.
1) For my washes I use 90 to 95% thinner and 10 to 5 % paint.
2) For future i normally do 2 thin coats..it is very easy to overdo the coats . I go easy on both.
3) Hope this helps ya!

I would use mineral spirts (white spirts) for the wash, Testors/Model Masters airbrush thinner is a hotter thinner that mineral/white spirits.
