If the line is outside, sloping will prevent the risk of freezing/braking if there is not water in the line! Inside, it just prevents risk of drips and bacteria growing in what could be stagnant water.

a System curve is used in hydrolic anylyses to dtermine the duty point of a pump for a certain pipe line. The pump curve and system curve are plotted on the same graph and where the two cross each other is the duty point, the curve is a Head(meters) vs Flow(m3/hour). The system curve Head = static head + head loss due to friction in pipe + secondary head loss *This is calculated for a certain flow to determine the Head so it can be plotted on the curve

Each pump is different, but you should get somewhere about 6000 gph
30 minutes but depending on your pump and how much back pressure on the pump line when it begins to reach full capacity of your tank well reduce your pump supply.
No. would it take the same amount of energy to pump water 1 foot up and 25 inches over as it would to go 400 miles over and 1 foot up? Unless you are under frictionless conditions, no.
