yes as long as it is glued properley
The pool return line is the one that returns the water form the filter to the pool. Usually you'll see holes in the side walls of the pool with little eyeball sockets where the water flows back to the pool.

PVC pipe is fine
it all depends on where the pipe is. Sometimes you can just plug the hole in the pool with a rubber stopper. without knowing wher your pipe is or what kind of pool you have, how much water, how many drains. etc.. this question may be too vague to answer If the line to the bottom drain is dedicated (a line directly to the bottom drain only), and it is the suction line as you describe, you will have to partially drain the pool, If only one suction pipe goes into the pump, the bottom drain runs through the skimmer. Plug the skimmer in the hole FARTHEST FROM THE POOL with a threaded 2" or 1 1/2" cap (whatever size your plumbing is). You'll also need to pull all of the eyeballs/returns and plug them in the same fashion (pressure side). There are rubber plugs made for all of this, too. If you have a pool cleaner you may have to plug it or close the cap also. A side note, because there's no details about your pool: if you have a 2nd line to the pool and a plug-in cleaner with a hose (like a Navigator or a Barracuda) your dedicated line is for the cleaner. Plug that also and you won't have to drain it. But if you have water features, a spa, play pool, if they run into one pump, boosters, etc. then my advice may not apply.

You need to use forced air through the suction pipe from the pool pump, to the skimmer, this will blow out any debris trapped inside. you can use the air out port on a shop vac. hope this helps.
As pertaining to what? Sizing the heater to the pool? Length of run time to heat the pool? Proper gas line run and size of pipe to use? What brand to use? How to hook the heater into the system? Natural gas or Propane? And quite a few more k
YES IN MOST PLACES IT CAN BE .THE WATER TABLE IS THE KEY.IF THE POOL IS ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN NOT MUCH CHANCE OF TROUBLE,BUT IF THE SAME POOL IS BESIDE A LAKE ---DIFFERRENT STORY.HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO!!!!!!WHEN YOU PUMP OUT THE POOL AS IT IS DRAINING GET IN AND REMOVE THE MAIN DRAIN COVER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL.THERE YOU WILL FIND AN OPEN HOLE(MAIN DRAIN LINE GOING TO YOUR PUMP)AND YOU WILL FIND A CAPPED HOLE. REMOVE THIS CAP (PLUG)THIS ALLOWS WATER UNDER THE POOL TO COME UP INTO THE POOL,IF YOU HAVE HIGH GROUND WATER.IF YOU LIVE IN A COASTAL AREA YOUR POOL WAS PROBABLY BUILT WITH A DEADMAN LINE .IF SO THERE WILL BE A PIPE COMING UP OUT OF THE GROUND SOME WHERE AROUND THE EDGE OF YOUR POOL DECK .THIS LINE IS THERE TO HOOK A PUMP TO AND PUMP THE WATER OUT FROM UNDER THE POOL.
