As much as you assign for it in the BIOS. Integrated GPUs use a chunk of your system RAM and do not have any VRAM of their own.
If you don't game, 256MB should do. IF you do, assign 1 or 2 gigs depending on your game's requirements. Mostly, 1GB will do.
Make sure you get ram that is as fast as possbile if you want to game on it and ALWAYS get a dual channel kit.

It uses your system memory for VRAM. Usually it reserves around 512mb to 1gb and then can use more if needed. The problem of course is system ram is far slower than dedicated VRAM.

Your CPU won't heat up more, but there will be less ram available to your software, and as I said using system ram as VRAM is slower its why external GPUs are so significantly faster.

It would only use what it needed, starting at about 512 mb, but you can either manually set the cap, or set no cap and just let it use what it needs, likely it will never go beyond 1gb or so. There really is no reason to manually set a cap, just let it work on its own it will never run out, it will use what it needs and leave the rest for your system. 16gb is plenty overall.

Don't even mess with the BIOS, its not worth it. The GPU will use what it needs, no more and no less. No reason to artificially limit your system, and that iGPU is so low power it won't even take up 2 gb.

No it will not, thats why I said best to just leave it alone to manage on its own. It will use what it needs automatically.
