Q: 5. would these charge on an anton bauer titan TWQ charger?

A: I have the power supply charger AB unit. They do charge with that, the battery manages the charging though, so special AB functions aren’t used. I bought them because I had the charger from a legacy camera I bought, and I didn’t want to spend more. So I bought used PAGs and I don’t regret it. They have served me well so far.

Q: 6. I don't understand, if you mount two mini's together, do they deplete at the same time? If so how can you "hot swap"

A: The PAG Mini PAGlink MPL50G Battery (50Wh) (B&H# PA7141) can join with another of its kind and the two would deplete at the same time, yes. When hot swapping, you would be replacing the battery that is not connected directly to the battery plate nor the D-tap cable. That way, it would not interrupt the power going to the battery plate or D-tap cable. There does need to be a bit of power in that battery in order for hot swapping to be possible, however. Fortunately, it's a quick procedure to remove one battery from the other and then add a freshly charged one in its stead.
