2) No. Everyone uses the same queue for outbound immigration and security screening.
Considerations:
1) in theory.
2) See above. Customs can be very slow and there is no "nothing to declare" lane.
3) You should be able to verify this in advance on your airline`s website. Some airlines allow you to check in on-line, but not to print your BP for the outstations. Some airlines do have kiosks in BGI, but not all. It is about 100-150 metres from the arrivals exit (turn right) to the check-in desks.
4) You shouldn't need to run.
But it is a shame to go all the way to Beautiful Barbados and not stay for a couple of days.

Thanks for the details, that's exactly what I was looking for. In light of this, I've ended up putting a fare on hold going to PTY instead (with a longer turnaround), as I was a bit untrusting of the connection when combined with the fact that I had another issue with the routing anyway.
Definitely agreed on it being a shame to not spend time there. I absolutely plan to come back and hit in the next few years, but for this I'm just trying to tack a cost-effective AA mileage run onto my trip back to the States (I'm working in Australia right now so options are limited there). Plus, 5 days after this I'll be in Costa Rica for 12 days ^
