I believe Appian will handle either DB type as TEXT.

I'm not sure off the top of my head. It can handle a lot. Did you check the documentation yet?

What exactly do you want to accomplish?

setting a length only works for VARCHAR type. If you want to have a field that's constrained to 4000, use VARCHAR(4000). I can't really speak to what the pros / cons might be compared to using TEXT - I assume some other people here will.

Not sure what to answer. That's just the way MySQL/MariaDB works.

You can't define a length. It is set by default at 65K.
