okay
1: yes you would you would just midi map 8 of them (imo 8 cues is a little overkill) to 8 pads and visa versa
2:you just plug in your MPD18 via usb and your ready to go you dont have to plug it into the mixer or anything just straight into your labtop then you can midi map it in the controller section
3:we'll its mainly personal preference whether you want to use tt's or a controller but like you said you could just buy a controller and be good to go!
4: again yes you could buy a controller and use your tt's as long as you've got the audio 8 you would probobly need a usb hub for this setup though if you've got a macbook, the controller would be able to cue up songs on all decks whether you have to use a shift button or it has a full 4 deck section ie: traktors kontrol s4, or the vms4 from american audio.
hope that helps even just a little
