Purchase just the One (1) unit/item. The link is in two parts, just break the chain and remove the next pin as well which will leave the gap to engage the connex link.

You need just one. It comes as a split link, so you put the two halves together and join the chain

Yes, it is very easy to release and it can be reused. Mine lasted three chains (but do bring a spare if it is getting old).

Yes it is quick release. You just have to sqeeze the links together and they will pull apart.

answer 4
Of all the links I have used, this is the easiest to unlink/re-link. No tools required. Much better than SRAM/KMC (and the cheaper Wippermann quick link that comes with the cheap 8sp chain). I have used some of mine on 3 or more chains/at least 4,000 miles.
