You should use sizeof(MP_INT) if you really want to do it with malloc.

No, gmp manages the space at _mp_d, mpz_init and friends will set it.

This is correct, but you need to look at _mp_d[1] too, since the value
is two limbs of 32 bits.  This is all internals though, so if you want
to be compatible with future releases, don't do it.

No, with MP_INT you get a struct, with mpz_t you get a one element
array.  The difference is that for MP_INT you need to write "&x" like
you did with "&aaaaa" to get a pointer to pass.  With mpz_t that
happens automatically.
