A ships total magazine capacity is the sum of the magazines on board. So if you have a magazine with a capacity of 31 and you mount 1 on a ship you have a capacity of 31, if you mount 2 on the ship you have a capacity of 62, and so on. So yes the two combine to store more.
Mines last until they trigger or you destroy them yourself. They have infiite lifetime.
Mines are technically missiles so you can't mount anything but a nuclear warhead in them. To be clear a mine is a 2 stage missile where the first stage has no engine. The "working" part of the mine is the second stage and it must be a missile with an engine.
The NCN uses the Mk2 Mine currently that carries the "Venom Assault Stage."
Armed "buoys" can only be made as a fighter. A fighter with no engines would work as what you want but you would have a crew and they would have endurance issues.
