You would just put matzah in a food processor and blend it until it's the consistency of breadcrumbs. It's far easier to just buy it.
Matzoh is literally flour and water. Once the water has been added to the flour it has to be baked within 18 minutes. In reality, buy matzoh, it's very very difficult to make your own kosher for Passover matzoh.
The key is to make sure the eggs are whipped so the matzoballs are fluffy.

Most matzah is made from wheat, so most matzah has gluten, and most matzah balls are made from commonplace matzah meal. Gluten-free oat matzah is available. if you make your matzah meal from oat matzah, and then make your matzah balls from oat matzah, then they will be gluten free.

Potato starch is OK for all Jews. Sephardic Jews are OK with rice. Ashkenazic Jews use lots of matzah meal. Coarsely ground meal for some purposes, cake meal (finely ground) for other purposes. And, of course, whole matzah or coarsely crumbled matzah farfel have an important place. Matzah lazagne can be made, substituting matzah for flat noodles between layers (put the matzah in dry, and of course, make it vegetarian because meat cannot be included in foods meals that include any dairy products). Fried matzah is like french toast, but made with broken matzah and egg. Some people make it savory, with onions, others serve it with maple syrup. Both are good.
That depends on one's definition of healthy. Matzah is made from flour and water, that's it so it's neither healthy or unhealthy. Some attempts have been made to make matzah healthier by using whole wheat and/or spelt instead of processed white wheat flour.

The holes in matzah simply keep it from rising or becoming puffy. This is because the specification for Passover is that leavened and/or puffed bread is not allowed.
