not the easiest place to get to Rubiaes, you may want to consider Ponte de Lima. Sleeping liner should be fine, although it can still get cool in the evenings even if the days are warm, late spring (check the weather a week before and decide). if you stay in the larger towns you should have no...
most of it is, there are a couple sections which may be difficult for a standard stroller: Pontesampaio to Pontevedra and Caldas to Valga, and even these only present a few kilometres not stroller friendly.
lots of private accommodation in all the towns, programme your stages accordingly and...
I am aware that the heat wave is no laughing matter and that half of Europe is suffering; however, I just walked into Compostela (yesterday) and am very grateful Galicia is far from the heat.
Buen Camino and keep hydrated if you are not in Galicia!

once you get to Redondela, the CP is actually quite nice (and interesting), at lest in my opinion.
You would most likely have o go to Santiago and then backtrack on the CF. there might also be a way to get to Ourense and then to Monforte and then to Sarria...
I'd go for the CP. If it doesn't meet your expectations you'll return to the CF with 'muchas ganas'.
and yes, there are some sections on the CP in galicia which don't exactly make the cut for outstanding beauty.
good luck and buen camino!
porriño to redondela is all road. tui to porriño is mostly road with a couple of short but beautiful sections through whats left of the woods (careful with teh detours)
if warm enough, arcade has beaches nearby. redondela is more of a town with some nice areas and with more accommodation options, arcade is smaller and modern.
I doubt you will make it to Santiago in a week if you only plan to walk 15-25, but perhaps that's your plan. Coastal route is longer than the classic one. Tuitrans covers the Spanish section for luggage, they also may do Portugal, not sure. And yes, you can mix both, typically walking the...
30 KM/stages would roughly place Redondela as your starting point.
25 KM/Stages would place you in Pontevedra (better option in my opinion)
All the towns have hotel, hostel and albergue options - check booking
Buen Camino
You'll be fine, last 5 years it's been warm but not hot, and the evenings cool off. Then again, it could rain... Galicia and northern Portugal are green for a reason.
Stages look good and yes, you may want to book in advance as it is Easter. You may even want to indulge at one of the Paradores, if that is your thing. Buen Camino!
