Same number of turns as original than add a resistor to get current right. Extra turns shoud be okay but you will likely need a resistor

The wires need to be perfect so they align properly so the proper amount of turns can fit in the housing.
Coil was originally aluminum, so it had a higher resistance. Even with a 'perfect' wind, the resistance might still be low.
Scramble should be fine, it's a DC application. So long as i get close enough: it should work.
Magnetic field strength is proportional to current * number of turns.
Using a resistor should work but so should using 20gauge copper if the number of turns is the same.
