Don' know how to store used filter sand, but a good question none the less :)
Nothing if its a sand filter However if sand is coming into the pool from the filter then you may have to replace one ore more laterals in the sand filter as they have worn and are letting sand through to the pool,
If you have a sand filter the laterals in it may be starting to show signs of wear these wil blow sand from the sand filter into the pool when they wear out.
clean it out with a pool vacuum. it is about 20$ at the dollar store. You might want to buy a disposable paper filter and hose or a reusable sand filter and hose.

It could damage the internal PVC of the filter and cause sand to get in your pool.
The sand filter wont make a pool green this happens a s a result of algae.

No.
Yes, it just depends on what kind of sand it is
.017 to .022 silca sand found at any pool supply store New: I doubt that you are going to find .017 or .022 sand even at a building supply place that specializes in sand, plaster, rocks, gravel etc. A #20 silica sand is what is available for swimming pool filters and that is what should be used. .017 sand may in fact be too small for the latterals in a sand filter thus letting small amounts of sand to pass thru to the pool daily resulting in a buildup of dust and sand on the floor of your pool.
Your filter will tell you on the side of it how much media sand to put in it.
One of the lateral returns inside of your sand filter may have snapped. When that happens, it can send sand out of your returns. Have your local pool place repair your sand filter.
