Same as the tutorial.

No, that decouples water while leaving the CNT and peptide intact.  You said 
your goal is to decouple the CNT, so that's what you specify here.

Hard to say.  I've never tried to decouple something as large as a CNT, but in 
general convergence is a trade-off between window spacing and simulation length. 
  You may have to try a few combinations to find the one that works best.
