6. 0 is an experimental parameter. Note that, even if the parameters were known, thermal/quantum effects will make the observed hysteresis window smaller than a static, classical prediction.

16. 0. While this is certainly correct up to a factor of two, and deviations ~ 10% due to parasitic effects would be unsurprising, uncertainties in the calibration of the cryogenic amplifier at present preclude a stronger statement.
