Q: 9. The Canon BP-A30 outputs 14.4V. Why does this BP-A30 "dummy" output "stabilized 7.4V?? Is that a typo, or is this a design flaw?

A: The GyroVu D-Tap to Canon BP-A30 Dummy Battery Cable's (30") specs are listed correctly. The GyroVu D-Tap to Canon BP-A30 Dummy Battery Cable (30") has a low power output, which is likely why it is rated 1 out of 5 stars. You would probably be better off getting multiple Canon BP-A3 batteries to power your camera rather than trying to power it via d-tap with this power adapter.

Q: 10. What is the power input range from the D-tap source eg. 11-17v and will this power a Sony FS100?

A: This will accept the power range of whatever battery it can connect to. However, what is more important is the power output of the battery. The P-tap of the battery must nominally rated at the cameras battery rating of 7.2VDC. If you connect this to a 14.4 volt P-tap and then to the camera, you greatly risk damaging it.
