You don't be able to get that thickness on the whole body of the guitar, you won't get a whole lot of tone and stability is an issue, especially if you want to go neck through.

I'd go two inches and slope the wings of the guitar down like the ibanez S series.

Ash would be alright, but if you want something bright I'd recomend maple or poplar(poplar isn't the best wood in the world, but a good piece will be as bright as maple and much easier to tool)

Set necks and neckthroughs are different and relatively hard to make with little experience.

That perticular bridge type and neck construction your after is tricky to build because on neck angle and headstock tilt, unless you wanted to recess the bridge.

There's so much work and detail involved in making a guitar that i couldn't even touch down on where to start (don't let that hold you back though, you should definately do it.)

I recomend reading this at least a couple times.

that will tell you everything you need to know. after that it's just practice and elbow grease.
