Most types of toothpaste will work. Just remember that the color of the toothpaste will add to or change the color of your slime.

Yes, you can do so. Just make sure that you use a thicker shampoo.

Try less toothpaste and see if that works. If not, put it in the fridge for a few minutes.

When storing it, keep it in an airtight container. Also, keep it out of direct sunlight.

I have tried the shampoo and salt one and it gets thicker but it was definitely way too sticky to be called slime.

In my opinion, the best toothpaste is Colgate and the shampoo is Fructis because it is thicker.
