There is no catnip in the picture at all, it is all lemon balm. Catnip and lemon balm are both in the mint family
tastes more like lemon balm than Catnip ;-) Will be posting Catnip soon. It is much more fuzzy looking. Lemon balm is heat stressed
Probably if it was a 24'' diameter or bigger
It is good in a salve for wounds, and also for broken bones. If you put it in your garden, you need to put it somewhere that inhibits spreading, as it will totally take over. Where this is, is in a VERY rocky part of the herb garden, and has not spread much. It is impossible to eradicate, as it has a long taproot. Each peace of the root if rototilled, for example, will produce a plant. If you have a suitable spot, I can bring some root for you
