Thinking about a 1st trip to DisneyLand. Many questions!

Something to think about, Disneyland is not that close to Hollywood/LA. That being said, I would skip the Hollywood Walk of Fame and do the Forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre instead. The Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't that interesting; it's names on a street, but the handprints, footprints, paw prints, and other kinds of prints have an actual connection to the people, animals, and what not that made them.

As for Disneyland, this book was incredibly helpful when I planned my first trip. https://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-G...cphy=9007538&hvtargid=pla-2281435177418&psc=1

I would do 4-5 days for a first trip, especially if you are from the other coast and won't be back soon. It gives you plenty of time in Disneyland to see and do almost everything you want without feeling rushed. You could take a break at the hotel in the afternoon if you wanted to. If a ride is down, it gives you more opportunities to ride it another day.

I would recommend Parkhoppers. The parks are incredibly close together. If wait times are shorter at the other park, you can easily switch. Also, if something is down, it gives you more opportunities to ride it other days.
