First off let me say my experience is 1 and 1/2 months only. During that time have cooked on the egg at least 4 times each week.
To answer your questions the best that I can:
Basic setup is one 18" rack on a large egg. I have an additional setup of one 18 and 2 15" racks. This requires a reconfiguration of your fire ring from the standard to a 2 inch ring.
It does not have a water pan but I have used a drip pan with additional liquid.
Heat control is strictly controlled by the bottom and top air openings. You have a lot of control and variance with these.
You can add fuel (lump hardwood charcoal and soaked wood chips)when grill is open. However the longest cook I have done were butts for 13 hours and never had to add charcoal and had some remaining after I finished and fire died after air cutoff.
The egg is very efficient due to the ceramic inside which controls and maintains the heat. Adding fuel is not a problem.
Hope this helps.
