I don't know about your project questions, but this link might be useful

also click on calculators in the menu there are other useful
gadgets like resistor calculators

google search capacitor conversion chart also

either pot will work ok, but the 500k will  be better...

those caps are too large in value....you'll either need...

a) a much smaller value cap, in the 100-200 picofarad range


or

b) not use the cap at all...


the only function of the cap is to let a small amout of high end "bleed through" as you turn the pot down, that way you retain clarity at lower volumes.   if you build it without the cap, it'll "roll off" the high end, like a guitars' volume pot does when you turn down. it works just fine either way...i just prefer the extra "sparkle" of having the cap
