All concrete cracks, there's no foolproof way to avoid them. As long as they do not penetrate the gunite shell of the pool they are simply cosmetic.

What do you use to repair cracks between the pool deck and the coping?
caulk NO...caulk shrinks and cracks. Use a self leveling polysulfide compound like Sika or Deck-O-Seal. Now I am talking about the space between the coping and the deck and not cracks in the actual deck.
How do you repair sinking concrete around an inground pool that's causing cracks and is supporting it in small sections digging out and packing with crushed stone acceptable to prevent further washout?
You have to look for the cause and remedy that first otherwise you will be repairing the concrete over and over. The cause of the deck to "heave" is probably a leak in your pool or pool plumbing.
Is a Kool Deck brand surface from Mortex applied when the concrete deck slab is fresh?
The Kool Deck topping can be applied on BOTH fresh concrete and existing concrete with the PTA bonding agent. It is most commonly applied on fresh pours because of labor and timing simplicity, which lowers cost. Kool Deck toppings applied on existing concrete bond equally well as a Kool Deck surface applied to a fresh pour.

How durable is kool deck compared to concrete for instance?
I have seen Kool-Deck by Mortex last over 20 years if done properly. Kool-Deck only works on brand new concrete as it is applied the same day the concrete is poured and MUST be done by an experienced installer. If the concrete is already there then use one of the polymer modified "spraydecks." "Preferred" is a good brand to use. Spraydecks are not as cool as Kool Deck but at least it works on existing concrete.

How do you build a simple deck?
Building a simple deck is simple of course. But you will need a lot of tools that include drills, bolts, screwdrivers, saws and concrete mix. You will have to make the deck first using wood, cutting the wood into smaller pieces and shapes after measuring where you want to put your deck. After doing this you can start on the concrete, mix the concrete with the water until wet, and begin to place on the space you wish the deck to be.

Generally, if concrete splits in freezing temperatures, it is because Water got into cracks and froze. The expansion of the ICE in the cracks would force the cracks open even farther and possibly split the concrete.
