New to S&S ISAs

Hello,
I’m just about to open our first s&s ISA and will max £20k to get full 2017-18 allowance.
Questions:-
1. If I put in the £20k, and aim to leave it for growth, then is there a max time it can be left in there for?
2. The fund I’m looking at - I assume that ‘X’ amount of units will be bought for my £20k, and in say 5 years each unit will now be worth more? - the capital growth would be tax exempt?
3. Are there charges on cashing out the ISA?
4. On an ACC fund, would all stock/share dividends paid out be used to just allocate extra fund units?
5. If I went for an income fund, are the dividends just paid out once or twice a year, and would they have to be declared on tax return, or are they tax exempt being generated from within the ISA?
6. Say this year I invest via say Cavendish, then next year can I open one with say Vanguard ?
Sorry for the list, but want to fully understand before I hit the button - thank you in advance for your consideration and help :beer:

3. Are there charges on cashing out the ISA? Check Ts & Cs of the platform you sign up with, some do charge and others don't
4. On an ACC fund, would all stock/share dividends paid out be used to just allocate extra fund units? No, the value of the units increases
5. If I went for an income fund, are the dividends just paid out once or twice a year, and would they have to be declared on tax return, or are they tax exempt being generated from within the ISA? They're tax exempt and don't need to be declared
