This is a great idea!
1)The most popular decks are the Rider-Waite deck and the decks which derive from it, such as Universal Waite, etc. Hanson-Roberts is another Waite derivative that's also quite popular. Other decks I've noticed are popular are MotherPeace Tarot, Tarot of the Cat People, Dragon Tarot (the mid 1990's one by the same guys who did the Wyvern CCG), Angel Tarot, Egyptian Tarot, and the list goes on. What you might want to do is check Amazon or Barnesandnoble.com and sort their Tarot decks by 'bestselling' and see what shakes out.
2) Win.
3) Three card spread, seven card spread, and the Celtic Cross seem to be the top three spreads for readings. I personally use the Celtic Cross almost exclusively. If you can, go to a psychic fair, talk to the readers, and find out what their favourite spreads are--that is, if you don't find the information you're looking for here.
4) Win
5) A general information box would be nice. Some people are affected by stuff like the weather more than moon phases, but any text box like that would probably prove useful.
6) That's a good idea, too. This way the user can spot trends in their readings they might miss otherwise. If the same cards pop up over and over again it's usually a pretty strong sign.
I'm actually voting for the second delivery method. There are so many browsers out there and what works on one may break another. If it's downloaded to an individual computer there's no worry about that. Only thing I'd ask for would be an automatic update or an easily accessible 'update' button.
