Don't think there's a direct bus to the airport from HH. You'll need to make a separate journey to Swampy from BKK.
Buses will take you directly to Ranong for your border run. You need to mess arounf with mororbike taxis from the terminal to the boats across the estuary. See http://www.tourismhuahin.com/busses-huahin.php for more details. You'll need the 08.00 to get you to Imm and over to the other side before the Burmese authorities close for the day or the 24.00 which'll get you there a couple of hours before they open. Journey time is about 6-7 hours. If you're getting the 08.00, it might be an idea to go a day early just in case the bus is full (unlikely but it has happened) or it's late (more likely). That way you won't be on overstay if you're forced to spend a night in Ranong.

You can get a minibus to Swampy opposite the Bangkok bus station close to nightmarket. Maybe one change(dont know) but fare is 250 baht.

1st ? - No, either bus to Sth'n terminal and taxi/minivan OR van ( I hate them) to Vic monument and either taxi/minivan) to airport OR if you are feeling like a tour catch the train to the airport (I have not done that yet).
