basting while cocking will help moisten and crisp up stin.

cover bird with aluminum (tin) foil for 3/4 its cocking time then uncover for final 1/4

you can also stuff butter garlic and herbs under the skin of the bird to keep it moist and then pop into oven

No. the bag does the basting. If you open the bag during roasting, you lose the moisture built up within the bag.

You should at least rinse it off. It has been injected for moisture and taste but I always wash it off.

What size of turkey will need for 250 people?

To feed 250 people you will definately need more than one turkey. A 20lb (10kg) turkey will feed ten people, so you will need 25 x 20lb turkeys to feed 250 people. Very few catering venues or kitchens will be equipt to deal with the amount of cooking involved in roasting 25 turkeys, so it might be best to think of other catering options.
