Yes. You could, but it has to be connected or related to your CNL future role. If the connection is weak, I would not mention it in my paper.

Yes, especially if you get a direct quote from a work, you will need to include these elements in the citation: the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by "p.").

Treat it as citing a chapter in an edited book with two authors.

 In text: (Chapter author, year of publication, Chapter X) -- See APA 7th edition, Sections 10.2 and 10.3.

     (Bargagliotti, 2011, Chapter 2)

Note that if you directly quote from the chapter, you will need to give page number. That will change the in-text citation.

No. APA never uses ibid. Instead, give each citation using author names as usual. To learn about how APA uses Latin abbreviations in the APA official blog. You can download the abbreviation table in PDF.

Treat it as a webpage within a website.

Based on APA 6th ed., rule 6.03, p. 170, "when quoting, always provide the author, year, and specific page citation or paragraph number for non-paginated materials in the in text." To cite a specific part of a source, indicate the page, chapter, ... at the appropriate point in text." However, "when paraphrasing or referring to an idea contained in another work, you are encouraged to provide a page or paraphraph number, especially when it would help an interested reader locate the relevant passage in a long and complex text." (APA 6th ed. Rule 6.04, p. 171)

APA rule A7.04: In text, give the popular or official name of the act (if any) and the year of the act. In the reference list entry, include the source and section number of the statute, and in parentheses, give the publication date. For example, the Tennessee Health Care Decision Act:

In text: (Tennessee Health Care Decision Act, 2004) 

        or Tennessee Health Care Decision Act (2004)

        or Tennessee Health Care Decision Act of 2004

Reference list:

Tennessee Health Care Decision Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §68-11-1803 (2004). 

APA style blog has more examples of citing federal statutes.

You would need to provide a separate reference for each chapter that you use. Credit the chapter authors in the body of the paper and create a corresponding reference entry in the reference list.

What is gray literature?

Gray literature refers to literature that is not formally published in sources such as books and journals. Gray literature includes but not limited to conference abstracts or papers, hard to find studies, reports, or dissertations, governmental or private sector research, ongoing or unpublished clinical trials, technical reports, press release, white papers, fact sheets, brochures, or policy briefs. 

According to APA rule (see APA book 7.03, p. 205-206 or APA style guide to electronic references, p. 19-21), format gray literature as you would a book. Some examples are citing IOM report, CNL white paper, and fact sheet.
