Thanks in advanced.

preferably....so that the salt particles will dissolve better.

Yes to aerate the water and bring down the PH.

yes

lol the correct answer is yes. but.....

I use my hand to mix salt and leave for at least 24hrs. Come to think of it, I have a pail waiting for me to do WC at home tt has been left to stand for 3 days already. Crystal clear water, no salt particles left.

In your case, I still suggest aerating as your pico will not do well to a wild fluctuations.

Actually, i plan to mix around 12l of salt mix and leave the rest in the jerry can. I think it can last me for around 1 month +...

by the time, all the salt particules should have dissolve. Which mean i don't really need to air pump? Correct me if i am wrong.

You can always take out what you need and aerate it the night before. Remember to check salinity and allow temperature to settle down to tank temperature before adding!
