I read online somewhere it is best to keep it outside. Only because your birds are used to the space they have in their cage already, so you do not want to reduce their space. That's just what I read - I'm no expert I'll have to wait a few more months for that!

I think they do several times a day. And I also think 10 days after they start, she begins laying eggs. Although I may be wrong about those numbers lol

Its not uncommon for males to spread out their attention, but it may show a little immaturity on his part. How old is he?

No, its fine. He should settle in as she nests and lays eggs. It would be easier if you didn't let them out while they are breeding. It is much easier for them to focus on parenthood if they are staying in their own, and you shouldn't have too much going on in the cage either. Only one or two toys ect ect.
