Answer 2

Respectfully, head to your local dealers (note use of plural) and try the bikes on for size.  Sight unseen is just not advisable.

Answer 3

I wouldn't buy a huck unless you were going to do some hucking.  Huck bikes are heavier than HT.

FWIW<  all the hardtails on that site are worthy.  Cannondale, Kona, Specialized, Norco are all respectable bikes.

I would however suggest that you are better off taking your cash to your bike shop and getting fitted to the right bike unless someone gave you a $700 gift certificate to this site.

Buying a bike sight unseen is a bad idea.  Even worse if you don't know anything about the models you are choosing from.  Even worse if you don't know if it is the right size or not.  I hope I am making my point without coming across as some old d**k
