Yes.

Not necessarily. . . This is the traditional belief, but there really isn't a lot of evidence for this. Although, it would make sense for the tunica to be a limiting factor, I don't think it's the only one . . . and perhaps it's not the main one. Have you seen the
smooth muscle article? It is my belief that we are also fighting the smooth muscle too. . . But not fighting it in the sense that we want to hurt it, rather we are exercising it as we exercise our typical skeletal muscles (e.g. biceps).

The tunica is much like a tendon -- and it is in fact an extension of real skeletal muscle located at the base of the penis. I'm not sure if the collage is the culprit.

This is a really good question, and I'm sure you'll get a different answer from different people. Nevertheless, I believe a combination of both is best. For example:
Hanging for medium intensity (note I didn't say high . . . high intensity probably isn't necessary, imo) for a short amount of time; followed by low intensity for a longer period of time...
