Questions about Android SDKs, Build Tools and APIs

Hi,

Trying to get the most optimal android build set-up, I have some (noob) questions that I can't find in the forums:

1: API 26 is currently installed. If I also want to support users with API 19 phones, do I need to install API 19 as well, or is it all "covered" in API 26?
2: Min SDK : 11. Same as above, do I need to install all API's from 11 to 26?
3: Support Lib : 25.3.1. How do I know which other versions are installed? How do you update? (current android support repository: 47)
I found the folder with all the libs installed : C:\Users\Boris\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\support-annotations

4: Does it make sense to have different versions (25, 26) for Build Tools, Target SDK and Compile SDK?
5: I want to update to 'com.google.android.gms: play-services:11.2.0' in the inject gradle, how to install this? Currently play-services:10+ only seems to work.
6: How to speed up the compiling to Android process?

Thanks, help much appreciated
