One way would be to make a duplicate of your video, place it below the black text and change it’s track matte “alpha matte”

It’s not possible. If you need to start/stop rendering, I suggest you render to an image sequence file(TIF Sequence). That way if you stop, you can look at your files(they are tagged with a frame number) and pick up from there.

Depends on the graphic, can you get it to go back to it’s starting point? Otherwise, every technique I know is a variation of just dissolving your graphic back to the beginning as fluidly as possible.

You got it correct. The top layer with keylight will be your alpha matte. Only where you keyed it, will the bottom layer show through, it cuts away the bottom layers green screen. Using this method will remove the noise that occurs when you use keylight.
When you have set up, you might want to select both layers and pre-compose them(shift+cntl+c). That will put the layers into there own comp and in your final comp you can now work on both as a single layer.

Very common problem with keylight. Take your footage and duplicate it. Delete the keylight effect from the bottom layer and change it’s track matte to “alpha matte”. You get the great matte you created originally, without the noise that occurs when using keylight.
Andrew Kramer has some good keylight tutorials, check out: Basic Color Keying

I don’t see your example, but check out this thread from last year. I even uploaded a example file. See if that gives you a start. Camera Twitch/Shake Colour transition

You may need to get a legacy version of AE cause that’s not created in CS6, but AE6, that might be 2005/06.
I haven’t tried to download any of these, but here are a few links, you can install and use as a trial:
