1) Teletha as a childhood friend? Holy shit, that works!
2) Yep, Our Heroes to a T.
3) Maaaayyyyybeeeee....
4) Well, there is going to be more than just Kanami. There's going to be the rest of what will become poor Sosuke's harem and they won't have much interest in Zeke other than he's a cool friend who can build some wickedly awesome crap. (I intend on his senior-year finals project to be making a replica of Kaneda's motorcycle from Akira. Complete with gas-electric drive train.)
I still like the idea of the Nerima Wrecking Crew getting involved now and then as well. However it wouldn't be the usual Ranma-variety adventure. It will be Zeke's variety that is something like a cross between a space opera, EEK! The Cat, and a little bit of everything else for seasoning.
If you don't know what EEK! The Cat is like... imagine being an average guy with a good, positive outlook on life no matter what happens - up to and including the apocolypse. Now imagine you are also a trouble magnet for everything, including killer mutant zombies, pirates, ninja, the apocolypse, the attack dog next door, and your Great-Aunt Myrtle. That is EEK! The Cat.
In short, I intend for the adventure to be high and full holy-crap moments that tend to be pretty damn funny as well. Trouble is keeping this from going too far, so I'm going to counter balance that with plenty of seriousness (not brooding).
