..or a 2-tile wide aqueduct, for that matter.

Doors only need one wall to attach to.  I make double door halls all the time.  (I have not tied them to a lever to try to hold back water, but I imagine it would work the same as a single door.)

Are there any pathfinding issues when using lever operated doors?  personally I use floodgates mostly out of misguided traditional sentiment, but also as a visual que as to the 'portal's' purpose.  I also like to put a lot of grates in my water channels, mostly just as a way to use up stone though.

No! They behave exactly like floodgates but without a 100-tile delay. Dwarves do not pathfind through them!

Something that you will never build if you understand how water works. Water using natural horizontal flow is tediously slow, and pressure pathfinding e.g. from a pump only needs a 1-tile-wide passage to find its way to the other end of the map. Making the aqueduct contain more tiles just means you'll waste a lot of water filling the aqueduct instead of sending it to the destination, thereby slowing things down.
