Answer 1

You're not going to be able to do that because CPT is not a page, it is a post. What you can do is create a page template for the homepage which makes a query and gets the post data. This is how you would do that

1. First create a page template with this code and place it in the root of your theme

   <?php /* Template Name: Your template name */?>

2. Then go into the pages tab in the dashboard and open the homepage. Set the page template option (dropdown menu) to the template you just created.

3. Edit the template file and include this code (replace "123" with the post ID):

   <?php $the_post = get_post(123); ?>

4. That will give you a Wordpress post object you can work with.

**** UPDATE

When you have your post in a variable you can do things like this:

<?php echo get_the_title($the_post); ?>
<?php echo $the_post->post_content; ?>
