Hey man I used minoxidil for about 4 months, I would say i had pretty good results. I did my research and I concluded that as long as you have the genetics to grow a beard, the use of minoxidil wont be necessary for lifetime to keep what you gained from its use.
I decided to use minoxidil because i was very impatient because I´m only 20 and asking my father and some realtives, suggested that my beard would start growing at at least 23 years of age.
Here are some pics from when I started:
Yesterday I made a post where i posted my beard right now Here it is:

Now i have stopped used since August and havent notice a change.
So overall it's a great product but of course it could have secondary effects, I only experience extreme sleepiness for 2 days and only because i stupidly use more than the 1 ml in the morning and 1 ml in the night, I used about 1.5 and 1.5 those days and that is definately what caused my sleepiness.
So yes it will work but be careful , listen to your body, and using more than 1 ml will NOT help.
To answer your questions:
I used kirkland, it dries your skin a lot, so buy some facial moisturizers too. Rogaine is best but more expensive.
If you are going to start this treatment/experiment BE CONSISTENT.Use everyday, if you really cant at least try days of the week.
Apply all over your beard with a droplet or something, I recommend to use a little less than 1 ml each application.
1 application in the morning let dry 4 hours, wash face use moisturizers , same for the night. You can apply only once if you cant in the morning, since you cant be exposed to the sun or it will cause color change on skin or something like that, But obviously results could be slower.
You can definately shave during treatment, actually I even recommend it, minoxidil will penentrate skin easier. I only let my beard grow like after 2 months, because I did notice a better stubble.
If you have more doubts just message me, If spanish is your native language you can message me in spanish.
Best of luck!
