1. Tatooine is a devastated backwater so far away from the developed core of Republic space that they didn't even accept the Republic currency. They probably could terraform it, but why would they? It would be a major project with no profit in it.

2. What gives you the idea that it would be easier to synthesize it than to mine it? That isn't the case with any high energy substance. By their nature, they're going to a big investment.

3. It's not possible to stay still in real space either. And gravity extends into hyperspace.

4. No. Genetic engineering tech is not advanced in Star Wars. Not at all. There's was a single world that was good at it out in the back of beyond, but it was destroyed in the Clone Wars.
