TLDR : Answer Summary

If you're a citizen of a country that is visa-free in Thailand and you plan to visit Cambodia for 14 days, you can reenter Thailand under a new visa exemption upon your return. Although your first entry grants you a visa exemption, it will not carry over for reentry after visiting Cambodia, you will receive a new visa exemption. Make sure to go through immigration each time you enter Thailand.

New visa exemption. I would look for a flight where you stay in transit.

Nope, you will get another stamp in your passport for a new visa exemption.

Check on your eVisa website if there's a Transit visa available for you. You would not "waste" one of your free exempt entries.

Yes, you take your baggage and recheck with local airline on separate ticket to Cambodia.

Yes, you go through immigration in BKK both times.

Yes, you can use the visa exemption again upon return to Thailand from Cambodia if eligible and within limits.

No METV is strictly required unless you want multiple entries guaranteed without border entry limits.
