It's difficult to gather all the information in one place on the forum, so I would like to ask the main questions about full suspension that interest me here.
1. How does full hanging differ from partial hanging? How is full hanging better?
2. Is it possible to do full hanging right up against a wall? For example, throw a rope over a door and secure the loop on the other side.
3. What kind of rope is needed and what can be used from improvised means?
4. What knots need to be tied?
5. Where to fix the loop around the neck?
6. How far do you need to fly for the loop to tighten? How high should the rope be attached?
1. How does full hanging differ from partial hanging? How is full hanging better?
Full suspension hanging: the body is fully suspended by the neck, and the feet are dangling in the air above the ground.
Partial suspension hanging: parts of the body are touching the ground.
In partial hanging, a portion of the body weight is applied on the ligature (depending on the chosen position). In full suspension hanging, you use the weight of your entire body to exert pressure and compress the structures and vessels of the neck.
Because of this, in partial hanging you should choose a suitable position in which you can apply as much of your weight as possible. Another disadvantage is the contact of the body with the ground, which gives you the possibility of aborting the attempt if the survival instinct is activated.
2. Is it possible to do full hanging right up against a wall? For example, throw a rope over a door and secure the loop on the other side.
Yes, it's possible. It will be full suspension hanging as long as your feet don't touch the ground. Your back can be against a door, wall, tree, window, etc..

It will depend on your height and where your anchor point is located. You'll have to find that out for yourself.
You should keep in mind that once your body is suspended and the Arbor Knot begins to tighten around your neck due to your weight being pulled down by gravity, the rope will penetrate deep into your neck, reducing its diameter, the knots will tighten to the maximum, and all of this will cause your body to descend a little lower than where you had initially left the ligature.
Leave the ligature at a height that you can easily reach and maneuver comfortably, and once it's on your neck you can pre-adjust the Arbor Knot behind your neck, leaving it in contact with your skin.
If you use a regular chair to stand, you'd be roughly 50 cm off the ground. I think that would be a suitable minimum height, keeping in mind that your body will then lower a bit more, as explained above.

When you stand on the stool with the noose tight around your neck and when there is no slack in the rope between the knot at the anchor point and the knot of your noose, than you will drop about 20 cm when you step off the stool. This inevitable drop is caused of the constriction of the noose when the rope digs into your neck as decribed above. I personal will avoid a drop and bent the knees until the rope takes my full weight and than kick the stool away.
How to get in this position? If your stool or ladder is high enough, you only have to bent your knees or step down the ladder until the rope is tight around your neck and the rope has no slack. If the height of your stool is only 45 cm you should first step noosed on the stool and than fix the rope at your anchor point in a way that there is no slack in the rope. You could also fix the rope at the anchor point first and then put the roope tight arpound your neck and tie the knot of your noose. I personal think that the first variant is easier.

Yes I think that should definitely be strong enough to hold you, especially since it's polyester with a breaking load of 800kg. Depending on how long it is I definitely do not see any issues with it for FSH.
