Either way works. It has been mentioned before that you want at least 1 or 2 supply storage on each warship that you have. But I would suggest having a few supply tankers in your fleets as well to resupply the fleet once the battle is over.

Those suggestions never excluded having resupply ships with lots of solar collectors on them.

8) How do tech trades work? The AI keeps giving me tech that I have already.

Each tech offered is one level of that tech area. You can not be given more levels of a tech than the offering player possesses. If I have APB 5, I can not give you APB 6. If you have APB 2, me offering you one level of APB would bring you up to 3. If you have 3, then me offering you a level brings you up to 4. If you have 2, and I offer you two levels, that would bring you up to 4. If you have 4 (and I still have 5) and I offer you 2 levels, you would only be able to go up to 5. The extra level is wasted in this case. Not knowing directly what tech levels your opponent has is not only realistic, but it makes the game more fun by providing many more RP opportunities (mostly in MP games ).
