The ph has to remain below 3.5 you can use it a long time. You would want the proper mix of water and starsan though. I recall that once it becomes clowdy its no good.
Sounds like your plan would over dilute it though.
Put it in a 500ml spray bottle makes life a little easier.

I've used a bucket of starsan that has sat uncovered, inside of the house, for a week with no problems.

From what I understand you could really keep it for months if you use distilled water for the mix and not tap water and keep it sealed.
If you can test for PH just test for 3 range.. If its over 3.5 throw it out anything under and it will still sanitize.

Question about my blow off tube.
I went to brewstock and Aaron told me to just attach my blowoff tube to my airlock... Will this be adequate, or will the airlock blowoff due to too much pressure?

If the tube is attached to the airlock there wont be any significant pressure at the airlock it will follow the path of least resistance which will be through the tube into your bucket.

ok
How big of a deal is temperature change in fermenting? If my fermenting beer goes from say 65-74, will that temperature change be enough to shock the yeast into no longer being active? Or will it be ok?

Probably not....but depends on your yeast. It should have a temp range somewhere on the package. The temp swings may affect the taste of the beer. I try to keep my temp swings in the 2-3 degree range during the first 5 days.

Like Dallas said.. First few days are important for temp.. After that doesnt matter a whole lot. You would start to get different flavors affect the beer. Generally you get a Ester flavor which if you are brewing a wheat beer you would want some of. Most Ale yeast is fine below 71. Some are fine up to 75. Over that and you run a risk of having too much ester.
