The product label for Crossbow Herbicide only lists that it can be used in non crop areas and specifically states: Do not apply directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with cotton, grapes, tobacco, vegetable crops, citrus, flowers, fruit or ornamental trees, or other desirable broadleaf plants and do not permit spray mists containing it to drift onto them. Gordons Ornamec would be a better choice. This will eradicate grassy weeds but not clover. You may need to spot treat with a glyphosate product carefully like Killzall for the other weeds or manually remove them.
The Crossbow Herbicide is labeled for the supression of Trumpet Vine, but it will not kill it off completely. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions for best results. RoundUp QuikPro is for treating weeds and hard to kill vines per label instructions as well.
Crossbow Herbicide is primarily designed to control weeds and woody brush type plants and vines from unwanted areas but is designed to not harm most grasses. There are some grasses it will control listed on the label but its primary focus is to not harm grasses. You may want to look at using something like Roundup QuikPro for the weed in your driveway or possibly a soil sterilizer like Pramitol provided careful application is used to ensure no damage to surrounding desirable plants like trees, flowers, and the lawn.
You can use plastic, stainless, and/or brass sprayers and parts with Crossbow Herbicide. The biggest concern with equipment when using Crossbow is generally involving reducing the risk of drift to desirable plants.

Yes, that is a possibility since Crossbow Herbicide is a post emergent herbicide. It does not offer pre emergent properties that would target germinating weeds or seeds. For a pre emergent for dandelions you could use something like Prodiamine 65 WDG.

It is recommended that you wait at least three weeks after an application of Crossbow Herbicide? before reseeding areas, and wait at least 1 year before planting anything edible in that area (including compost).
Crossbow should not harm established trees but may damage younger trees if applied directly to them. To avoid injury, do not apply directly on or within the drip line of smaller trees.
The amount of coverage area you will get out of a gallon of Crossbow Herbicide will be dependent upon the mix ratio you choose. You can get anywhere from 24 to 96 gallons of mixed solution out of the gallon. Mix ratio is 1 1/3 - 5 1/3 oz. of product per gallon of water.

The best time for treatment of biennial and winter annual weeds is when the plants are in the rosette stage and actively growing. A re-treatment of hard-to-control weeds such as field bindweed, chicory, dogfennel, goldenrod, horsenettle, kudzu, milkweed, perennial sowthistle, leafy spurge, and Canada thistle may be necessary. After using Crossbow Herbicide, animals should be kept off the area until it has dried. Your animals should not be allowed to graze in the area that was treated.
Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo, however we have heard if you cut down the bamboo level with the ground and apply Crossbow or a similar Triclopyr based product undiluted to the fresh cut it can help kill it out. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.
Crossbow Herbicide should not be used in areas that stay wet, and it will not be effective for grassy plants or sedges. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension for assistance identify the specific plant that you are targeting for the best recommendation.

You will need to use a non-ionic surfactant with this product such as this one.
