I can answer some of your questions based on my recent experience.

1) There is room for only one daughter in the form, right? I had posted the same question 2 months ago and I was advised to note the status of only the sponsoring daughter.

2) Passport expiry date is not a problem

3) We are two daughters in USA and my brother is in India. We mentioned "visiting daughters and sons-in-law" (plural) in all the forms/letters. As per the advice I received from everyone on these boards, we were "truthful" with our details and my parents got 10yr M visa. They were asked this question in the interview: How many daughters you have? My parent's reply was "two daughters". In all the letters, I mentioned that my parents will stay at my home (as primary residence) during their USA tour and will also visit my sister for a couple of months.

Good luck to your parents!!
