  1. The scale length of a Tenor Banjo (22-23) is a little bit longer than a Baritone Ukulele (19-20). While that may seem like a small amount, I would expect it to cause some tension issues. However to answer your question. Living water makes gCEA sets for baritone. I personally used the DGBE set, and it was lovely. Guadalupe strings are similar. I cannot vouch for other brands however.

  1. I would just try to make a large knot that can sit inside of the tail piece hole without slipping through. Possibly consider bridge beads? r/https://www.amazon.com/Ukulele-Diamond-BridgeBeads-String-Ties/dp/B00HB8TOPG/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_267_tr_img_2

  2. I'm not at all experienced with cutting nut slots, and have ruined the nut on my ukulele before. I would just let a music shop do it. It's a rather cheap task (but much more expensive if it has to be replaced if you accidentally make them too large). That being said, ukulele strings are not very thick, so you may not notice much of a tone issue at all. I would just wait for the near future when you can afford to pay a music shop.

    Words to the wise. gCEA tuning sounds beautiful on a small instrument. However, in my experience, on larger instruments that brightness dwindles, and without bass strings, the instrument sounds dead.

    My baritone came standard gCEA, and it always felt like the strings and body didn't pair together well.

    I also have a tenor guitar (23 scale length) that is very similar to a tenor banjo, that also suffered from the same aliments that the baritone did.

    It was only after I tuned my baritone to DGBE (classical guitar strings), and my tenor guitar to CDAE (steel strings) did everything have a much clearer tone.

    My only fear for you is that the nylon/fluorocarbon strings won't be able to resonate the banjo head well at all.

    ​

    This is not impossible to do, so I wish you the best of luck. However, do expect to experiment a lot with this new setup until you reach a tone that sounds great.
