According to this site here:
http://www.sizes.com/units/rvalue.htm
3/4" plywood has an R-value of just under 1 (~0.94). The R-value goes significantly up (~2) if one side is reflective (e.g., aluminum surface), I assume the hotter side.
Depending what you are wanting to supply. Basin, shower, toilet, bidet, kitchen can be fed with a half inch line Main line and bath can be fed with a three quarter inch line
when asking this question you first need to take into account that plywood comes in different thicknesses therefore weight per particualr thickness of sheet plywood will vary-- in my opinion/ without fact and research / a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood may way about 16 lbs. while a 3/4 inch plywood sheet may way 70 lbs.
In the USA, 15mm is half-inch, and 22mm is three-quarters inch. Lengths of pipe nipples in these sizes range from one and a quarter/one and a half, to six inches, in half-inch increments.
This problem lies with your pipe sizes. If the pipes size of your main line does not equal the supply for demand this will result in the current problem. For example, if your whole house is fed with half inch piping and you open two taps the volume of water has to be shared from the half inch pipe, thus causing a drop in pressure. Whereas if one installed three quarter inch main line "t-ing" off to half inch, because the three quarter inch will hold a higher volume of water when two taps are opened and the water shared, the drop in pressure will be hardly noticeable.
The birch veneer is actually accounts for a small portion of the plywood's density. The core layers are more important. The Purebond plywood that I see at my local home despot is probably from Columbia Forest Products. According to their website, my plywood on the east coast is composed of a combination of aspen and fir layers. Birch has a density of 670 kg/m3, Aspen 420 kg/m3, and Fir 530 kg/m3. If you don't know what kg/m3 means, I did an estimate on the math. Guessing that the board is 2/3 Fir and 1/3 Aspen, and neglecting the millimeter of birch on top, the weighted average density is 494 kg/m3 or about 31 lb/ft3. If you still don't know what lb/ft3 means, basically a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood, 3/4" thick, should weight about 59 pounds. A half inch thick sheet, should weight about 39 pounds; and a quarter inch thick sheet should weigh in at around 18 pounds.

1/4 = 2/8 so the 3/8 is thicker.
Yes it can. That seems a very satisfactory way to do it.
that depends on the type of plywood 3/4" ranges from about 20.00 to about 50.00 a sheet (cheap flooring to higher end finish plywood and marine grade pressure treated) in my area. . .check around.
¼-inch plywood 0.31 3/8 inch plywood 0.47 ½-inch plywood 0.62 5/8 inch plywood 0.78 This is taken from http://www.sizes.com/units/rvalue.htm, which also has some other materials that could/would commonly be used alongside with plywood to increase the R Value such as building paper and insulation... if both sides of the frame are ply then you must also include the void.
You did not mention if the three-quarter inch stuff was T&G (tounge and grove), that might make a little difference. I am not an expert in this area but have some personal experiences to share. I was allways told from old school you should have two layers of half inch material one layer turned ninety degrees from the other to give a solid one inch floor. Then you could use the one quarter backerboard and end up with a good tile floor. Then the new school came along and told me i could use one quarter over the T&G three quarter. They said the three quarter T&G was equal to the old style one inch. I tried it with the three quarter and i have several grout cracks and two broken tiles. I was using one quarter quarry tiles six by six. Have now fixed yet but in another room i used three quarter T&G plus another one half inch plywood then one half inch backerboard and same tiles no cracks.
Yes

about three and a quarter inch.
