I'm happy to answer your questions.
1. The ten dreams per week thing is really up to you. However, if you want to get the most out of a technique I would wait until you can remember multiple details about at least 10 dreams per week. For example: you are in a dark room, you feel scared, and you're alone. I think that is enough to be counted toward the 10. Even very experienced dreamers have a hard time recalling every aspect of their dreams at times.
2. It is possible to dream about lucid dreams without being lucid. These are the dreams where you talk to someone about lucid dreaming, you think about lucid dreaming, etc but you never realize you are dreaming at that moment. However, I don't believe in false lucid dreams. If you realize, even for a moment, that it is a dream while in the dream it counts as a lucid dream. Lack of control or clear-mindedness or anything else doesn't effect wether or not it is a LD. What you describe is a short LD. It is possible you had a false awakening (FA) right as it "ended" and that is why you found yourself in an other dream so quickly.
3. This sounds kind of like a DEILD (tutorial here). It is a form of WILD that is done as a dream ends. It is also called dream-reentry. If you were lucid, even though you could barely move, it was a LD. Some people complain that DEILDs tend to be dull or difficult to control, while others find them to be exceptionally vivid. Many people on Dreamviews refer to LDs that were dull, difficult to control, etc as "semi-lucid" or "partial-lucids." I think this is misleading because as long as they knew it was a dream it is a lucid dream. It really is dream control or clarity that was lacking.
