MPG, it's a guess, I would say a 20% drop is a good guess.

Warranty, just like the tune itself, if a component fails unrelated, like a blown strut-they would not be able to prove it. But if something fails, like a fuel injector, they may try and blame the tune and E85.
You can easily run e85 mixed with regular pump. Something in the 25-35 percent e85 would work fine.

Grab a BT tool and monitor your fuel trims to make sure your fuel pump is not strained but other than that you get great power and a bit lower gas mileage.

You don't need a specific e85 tune. Even stock you will make good power as you will be able to hit full boost and timing targets with e85s cooling effects and higher octane. With a regular tune of any kind you again can run higher boost and timing. Its cooling effects alone are valuable and why its even better than race gas.
