No, an expansion tank is not required.
There are two types of tank-less water heaters that run on two different fuels. There is a electric heater, and an oil heater. One gets plugged in the other uses oil
The inter atomic force is comparatively less in case of liquid
a direct vent water heater is more fuel efficient (cost's less to operate). aside from that there isn't much difference, aside from not needing a double wall flue through the roof on a standard gas water heater.
Installation instructions come with tankless water heater, but would recommend someone experienced enough to install.
My guess is that the hot water heater is installed downstream from a pressure reducer to limit the maximum water pressure that the water heater is exposed to.
You can save more money when purchasing a reliance water heater ,because it is less cash consuming and useful. Purchasing is cheaper them renting one.
At current gas prices they cost less to use and a gas heater gives you a much greater supply of hot water on demand.
A lot less because the water is flowing if it is exiting and it depends on the water pipe size.

Not significantly. Using less hot water in general will save.
Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater. You will see boiler scale come out of your water heater. Leaving the boiler scale in your water heater makes it less efficient. It makes it harder to heat your water. It is the same as throwing money down the drain. If you want to give your money away, you should give it to the Salvation Army instead of the Utility Company.
A single tankless water heater will not cope with all that.
