No need to apologize for asking questions about loops- each situation is unique.
Based on all of your criteria, I would say 500 should be your #1 loop request, followed by 400.
1100 allegedly is not an official pet loop (although the way things have been lately, you could probably have pets in that loop).
As for your other questions:
How often do the internal bus routes run?
It varies with the time of day and the day of the week. You shouldn't have more than a 15-20 minute wait at the longest, and most of the time, it will be less.
How long does the typical boat ride to and from MK take including wait, loading, unloading, etc.?
The waiting part is the big variable here. There are times when it inexplicably takes longer than it should. Allow around 45 minutes, but most of the time it will be less. On rare occasion, it could be longer.
How long does the typical bus ride to and from the other parks take including wait, loading, unloading, etc.?
My rule of thumb is to allow an hour to get anywhere from the Outpost Bus Stop. It can take a lot less, and rarely could take longer.
Is it OK to run a dog on the internal walking/jogging path?
As long as the dog is on a leash, it's OK to bring dogs most places in the Fort. There are signs posted where you can't.
