1. No. The data for 2000,2010 could be in one table 2.. you can create a view that accepts get and post. Get when the user loads the page initially to fill it out and Post when they submit it. This should take them to a new page with the results or a refreshed view if you are using a JavaScript library. 3. Yes. You need to pass the input of the form as a search parameter to the post view code. 4.dont worry, this is a small hump and you get over it.
Btw - you should clean up your repo, it has a ton of stuff, ie your whole virtual env with binaries and executables in it that should never really be checked in. It could use a requirement.txt and a .gitignore file as well.
