Does that also send email for the domain?

As detailed in the FAQ, the include tag is to include another SPF
record. That would only be valid if you published an SPF record for
ink-spot.com.

Try:
v=spf1 ip4:205.212.176.168 ip4:63.226.62.101 ~all
instead. Since you already specify the IP of the hosted site you
don't need to specify the hostname. It's also better to use IP.
Also, a TTL of zero says "never cache". That's not a good idea as
every email will then trigger a lookup against your DNS servers. A
value of 3600 (1 hour) or 86400 (24 hours) would be better.

Depends on the control panel.

Yes. If you never send email from <user [at] www> you
should publish:
v=spf1 -all

Use a short TTL (say 300 - 5 minutes) and use one of the test
addresses detailed in the Tools page (http://www.openspf.org/Tools).
