wow. just...wow. anyways, what's your goal? To be good at running? To lose weight? Or just to feel better? At your current stage these are all more or less similar, but there'll be a point where you'll want to codify your goals more.
@ an unathletic 290 you'll have trouble jogging for a half hour straight. You have to start somewhere, obviously you think you know about diet, but that should be the first stage (ie 6 meals a day @ -500 maintenance calories w/ a 40/40/20 spread or so, it all depends on what you want). Running is good, and once your start being able to jog a couple miles without having an aneurysm you should look up HIIT (high intensity interval training).
All your questions at the end? It's all just worry. As long as you're going running, you're doing better. Obviously you want to 'lolmaximize' but tbh just go out and fucking run. Personally, I have a piece of fruit before I run in the morning, then when I'm done with my morning warm up I'll have a big breakfast. Running after you eat the most important meal of the day is just asking for trouble. What you'll probably find out (about running TOO much) is that there's this thing called shinsplints, and it sucks. So you'll want to work into a schedule, rather than starting off at 100 mph.
You know (or will know) your own body. You can jog twice a day, we're not supposed to be sedentary creatures. You can jog 2, 3, 8 days in a row. It all depends on your body, though, and what it can handle.
