I usually record 2 tracks at once. left channel direct into a mic and right channel recorded DI'd with a bit of slap back delay. Thats the acoustic guitar. See my vids for examples....
Maybe but its preferable to go with it because you can transport it to any major studio without problems. SO you lay down some rough guitar tracks,then you go to studio with your session and you can reuse all your hard work. Think about it.
The mics used for recording an amp usually aren't that expensive. Shure sm57 (industry standard) will set you back 100 bucks. Recording an amp gives you more to work with too. When recording a bass I would recommend di recording.
You can also just use direct input instead of using mics. Direct input will require more mixing, but if you have the right mixer (like for instance the Phonic AM240) and soundcard (the latest Creative soundcard or anything) you have a good start. And the pro about direct input is that you don't have to swing around with a expensive microphone searching for the right recording-spot in front of a amplifier.
What if I am using a preamp instead of a standard amp or a cabinet?

Protools is overrated for home projects. Cubase will do you just fine.

ProTools is the way to go. Cubase will do the work too.
