If you are on the bench and you have a project coming up, don't bother. Just relax, so some administrative stuff. If you need to find a project, I'd spend at least 50% on PD type work. You can justify the rest of the time finding work. Honestly, I don't even start looking for PD work until about a week or two on the bench, just in case I get rolled onto a project right away.

Depends on pursuit. Are you talking about how many hours to bill to PRD? I put the full amount worked to PRD. If I worked 12, I put 12. I often find I work longer hours on pursuits than projects since they are much more intense over a shorter time frame.
