A: Sim on the Q400 unless it is busy otherwise 767. They will send you an information pack with all the applicable power settings and attitudes for each stage of the sim flight.
1: Most starts are on the 200/300 however if there are vacancies on the 400 and no else in the company bids for it then it is possible to go straight to the 400. Once on the 400 you are frozen on type for 18 months.
2: Time to command ....... how long is a piece of string? Ranges from 18 months to 5 years. By the time you have the required time on type most of the trainees from 2 years ago will have their ATPLs and be ready for command.
3: Line training should get you up to speed on OZ flying, I assume you hold an Australian ATPL?
Good Luck
