Does the "8" indicate 8th Army?
No, it indicates the base morale for that unit, 8.
You actually don't want to include that in this level, but you must for your Corps overall. Like this:

I picked 44 12 as an end date as I don't plan on more than 4 months. 44 06 for the 5307th was the stock date.
If I want the Chinese to come into the battle later, can I just change the start date?
If you plan on using the 5307th as the core unit, then your primary organization (USTF) might as well have the same end date - 44 06.

Would I be better off with the 30th ID or the $. ID assuming that the $ will list as the USTF in game?
30th Infantry Division is fine, as long as it is an actual division in the division20.oob file and there are subordinate units that are within the required dates (44 02 44 06) of that division (D2042005).
This is where your "reinforcements" are going to come from at the moment.
