No, unless the page has links to images, stylesheets, js or other static
content served by the same machine. But don't do that - host them on
another server with a long cache time instead.

Use event MPM. Only load the modules which you need, which should be
almost none for one simple page. Read the docs on performance tuning.

Yes, but since you say there will be frequent updates, maybe investigate
just having the page on a ramdisk so you get fast reads and writes?

Yes, but only for javascript or iframes. I can't see how you could
accomplish it with SSI or PHP.
