Answer 1

If you try to make a structural box, it will likely fail because of tree movement.  I'd make partail walls, that go up to about your chest-level.  Make these as one panel, on the ground.  Then, move them into place, and attach them with a couple of big screws to the tree, but if movement is expected, make the hole for the s***w a rectangular opening, so it can shift a little.  By making the wall only chest-high,  and having an overhanging roof, you make a row of "windows", which you will certainly want.
