Answer:

You can use potting soil and save yourself the trouble of having to mix your own. Peppers like the heat but be careful that they don't dry out too much because if they get stressed they can get bugs easily.
Kind of late in the year to be starting seeds, but ok. I would use less vermiculite and add in more starting mix. Also, they like humidity, and it doesn't have to be so hot for them to be happy. Good luck!
All peppers, hot or sweet, need about the same conditions. How hot they are depends mostly on the genetics of the peppers. Regular starting mix works fine if you are starting them from seed. In warm weather, you can also plant them directly into the ground. Plant them maybe 1/4 inch deep, and keep them well watered. Grow them in full sun. That's about it, except that you should watch out for pests.
