I'm also interested in the answer to the second question...
per instructing nights/weekends, the question made me chuckle. when i quit my part 135 career, i took some time-off from flying and returned last year to instruct full-time for a year in general aviation. it had been since the mid-90's, so i had to re-learn much of the basic material. and not being as young, and not caring about building time, i didn't wish to wear myself completely out.

turns out..in my local market (central arkansas)..nights/weekends were almost the only times students were available. it was very rare to have a morning or even early afternoon student during the week. if you go to a school, especially one like in florida that does an awful lot of light training due to generally year-round favorable weather and an abundance of foreign students, you can expect to be able to work almost anytime. i think you'll find in most parts of the country, working out of a smaller fbo, nights and weekends will be your only real times that you may depend upon. good luck!
