The first question is pretty vague, so here is your vague answer:
$10 to $1000.
Define "max." Max velocity? Max consistency? Max ROF? Max durability? Max battery life? Max accessories (optics, slings, suppressors, extended inner barrels, tightbores, extra magazines, longer magazines, holsters, different iron sights, tracer units, etc etc etc? )
And if you've never upgraded a gun before, I highly don't recommend trying it on your MP7 as your first gun. It's not that upgrade-friendly, and you may be disappointed at the results.

That's an even MORE vague question, so here is an even more vague answer:
$0.01 to $10,000.
Define "fully". Even with that, aftermarket part selection can range widely, depending on the gun platform you choose. Some guns have almost no upgrades available. Others have almost every single part of the gun available in upgrade parts. And then there's some guns like WA 1911s, that have premium parts that can run you well in to the cost of a small car.
Can you install the parts yourself? That depends on your mechanical dexterity, how good you are with working with your hands and your innate understanding of mechanics & pneumatics. It also depends largely on what it is you're upgrading. To put it in to perspective: MOST AEG doctors are not willing to deal with GBBs, because they're a very different beast.

That depends. What's broken?

That's exactly what I do with my batteries. Does it harm it? I don't know. I don't even care. I just do the discharge before I charge it. But so far, all my batteries still hold full charge, even though some of them are 5 years old now. I'm not saying it DOESN'T cause damage - I'm just saying that I haven't seemed to notice any noticeable damage on my batteries.

I don't empty it. Is it harmful for the magazines? I don't know, but again, I haven't noticed any damage to my magazine valves, despite storing this way for a couple of years.

You don't have to do a complete fill.

KSC is a Japanese company, but most of their manufacturing is done in Taiwan. However, the Japanese versions of their products go through more stringent QC processes when sold to Japanese market.

This is only true with Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells, which do not require discharges between charges.
Nickel-Cadmium cells still require discharging and can suffer from memory.
