    Wow, the possibilities here are nearly endless, as greenhouses allow you to grow just about anything your heart desires - year round. Some suggestions that come to mind are hibiscus, orchids, chenille plant, oriental lily, impatiens, calla lily, begonia, passionflower, etc. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/greenhouses/plants-for-greenhouses.htm

    Since agronomy refers to the branch of agriculture concerned with crop production and soil management, and production of bean crops - or any crops, since that implies a large harvest - in greenhouse is an area of immense complexity, research, and implications, your question is more appropriate for university study of several years duration, rather than a simple home gardening forum. I can give you a beginners' article, if this addresses any of your interests: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/greenhouses/greenhouse-vegetable-plants.htm
    Also one of many many sites that simply list information sites: http://www.agrisk.umn.edu/cache/arl01481.htm

    I can't tell what they are from the description. Take some samples to a the specialists at the nearest botanical garden, university biology department, or agricultural station.

    I feel the only way to determine whether or not a plant is getting enough moisture is to check the soil. If the soil is moist to the touch, don't water. If the soil feels dry, water till it runs out the bottom. If you are giving only 2 minutes of water every other day to a 2'x2' container in a greenhouse, the plants should be dry. Since you don't state your location or zone, I'm assuming you are in the US. If so, during the summer, doesn't it get awfully hot in the greenhouse?
    Your lack of yield could be simply lack of pollination. Especially in a greenhouse. This article explains: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/insect-pollination-process.htm

    That is really hard to say. It depends on how large your greenhouse will be and how large your compost pile will be. My gut says that it likely will not be enough heat unless you have a very small greenhouse though.

    That should be fine, and yes, if using this material, I would add a small vent in the top. For additional information on using cloches, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/tools/using-cloches-in-gardens.htm
