I would use ones that are small in diameter with small, rounded heads. Make sure they are long enough to grip into something solid after they've penetrated the shoe moulding (and possibly drywall). You want the penetration to be at least the thickness of your shoe moulding, but two times as much would be better. You can greatly reduce splitting with any nail by taking your hammer and flattening the pointed end with a few gentle strikes. Then, rather than separating the wood fibers, you'll be punching them out in the shape of that nail which reduces the splitting.

Hammer them so they look a bit more aged. Then use low-grit sandpaper or a light coat of acid (apply and wipe off) to remove the shine.

The same: either a 42S or 42R. Most overcoats are pre-measured to fit over a suit, so shop for the same size you normally wear.

For measuring, do I use the diameter or circumference?

For correcting a large, leaning tree, you need to measure the circumference, not the diameter.
