Answer 1

I did a somewhat similar project a few years ago.  Take a small plastic container and cover the sides (thickly) with Play-Doh.  Also, cover the lid.  Then, tape it shut so the lid doesn't fly off.  You can also mix cotton with the play-doh.  That's what i did.  it keeps it together more.  My egg didn't have a single crack.  hope this works for you.

Answer 2

one word. parachute.

Answer 3

Some of those memory foam bedding places will let send you a free sample of their product. If you can get one in time, tape the egg to that. :)
