a). Always use clippers when removing leaves and never your fingernail. When you use your fingers you may damage the plant and cause it to not regrow its leaves.
b). I would say use some fresh, freeze some, and dry about half of your harvest. If you can find access to a dehydrater that would be best for drying, because you can hang herbs , but they often mold.
c).I am not familiar with the uses of cinnamon basil, but Wikipedia states that the combination of basil and cinnamon flavors make cinnamon basil popular for use in hot drinks and with fruits.
