1) I have to tick the Pre-Buffering Option - I am not sure how often this occurs for other users but here: No chance without this option
That's because you use large buffers.
2) After about 3-4 songs the Playback stops. I then have to just jump to the next song in the Spotify APP and it continues to play
Unfortunately Connect mode is not as stable as I wished it was. This random stopping is something I've tried to address in too many ways already. The Pre-Buffering option was one of them, but turned out to be less stable overall. That's why it's disabled by default.
I'd suggest you reduce squeezelite's buffer size and disable the Spotty pre-buffering. It might give you better results.
3) From time to time my Player is not available in Spotify App. I have to close the app reopen it (sometimes 3-4 times and than it is available again)
That sounds as if the spotty daemon died every now and then. And it might also explain why playback stops. Can you monitor the processlist? There's one spotty task per player with "--bitrate 96 --lms ...". That's the connect daemon. If this changes pid, then it has been restarted. Well, you could of course just enable info logging for plugin.spotty. It'll tell you.

I see you have a dropdown for the helper application. Would you have a spotty-custom in there?
