I used a Generlink transfer switch. A bit expensive, but it gets installed by the local hydro company, and it's one of the few they actually endorse. Gets installed at the hydro meter, and lets you choose what you want to run by flipping breakers in your panel.

All that matters is the cement powder hydrates before the water evaporates. I'm pretty sure there is no crystalline structure to concrete, but you can't go wrong curing it wet and cool.

Just google winding a recoil spring. You should find what you need.

Unless the slab is more than 6" thick and in really good condition, I'd be careful. Might consider using interlock stone instead of concrete. Make it look like a border for the driveway. Doesn't risk cracking the existing slab when you drill into it.
