Answer 1

As a US citizen you can stay (live) in Canada for only six months.  However, you would be crossing the border most days, so I am not sure how that fits.  The situation you are describing would be picked up eventually by officials on both sides of the border because it would be recorded that you were crossing the border everyday.  Each time you cross you are asked the purpose of your visit, how long you are staying, etc.  

You would not be eligible for Canadian health care nor for a Canadian passport because you would not be eligible to live in Canada.
