You can tap it at the manifold or the booster. As long as it is before the check valve.

I wouldn't...
It could cause your brakes to pulsate due to the BOv going off.
Besides...that line is 10mm.
6mm is more like 1/4".

Sure, use any of the regular 3mm - 4mm vacuum lines.
Run a 4mm to 6mm "adapter".
Run the 6mm hose into the Tial BOV.
