Is the 12lb weight limit strict or just a suggestion?

The weight is a guide for you to gauge the size of your cat. There is no weight limit restriction. The weight is an indicator on whether your cat would be too big or not to fit through.

I have a hollow door I want to install this in. Will the liner prevent me from seeing inside of the hollow space of the door?

Yes, the liner has a frame of its own that will 'close-off' the hollow opening of the door. Be careful, though when tightening the two halves of the cat door together that you do not put too much pressure on the door facing and collapse the door; you may even want to insert 2x2 sections into the hollow-core door opening to give it interior support.

Can I put this cat door in a basement casement window that opens by sliding sideways?

I have used these doors for literally 20 years. Whenever they go in windows, they get mounted first onto a board to fit the window opening, whatever it may be. So hopefully you have someone, and/or the tools, to cut a board, cut a square hole through the board, mount the door with four screws and stick it in the window. I have always finished the board with paint before mounting. I have usually used only the 'active' side (with the red control knob) because the boards are generally 3/4" thick. They work great. Lock the sliding window in place with a stick/dowel/screw. Cats love the doors. So do we. Go figure.

What are its outside dimensions?

8.25"x 8". This is the second door that I've had, the first one was the exact same size but after 6 years the looks would start to slide and sometimes my dog would accidently lock herself out. I paid someone to install the first door but this time I installed it my self because it was exactly the same and door had already been cut to this size. It's perfect for my 7 pound Chihuahua.
