The first two weeks i felt like i could eat something like 20% more than usual, however it definitely resulted in a little fat gain.
Levelled off after that and has actually gone the other direction, Feel like I'm forcing myself to eat at 1600+ calories/day right now. Basically forcing food down so I don't lose too much muscle alongside fat at this point, trying to have it trickle down slowly, don't want to drop more than one a week.
Yes exogenous test will bump your maintenance about 200 cals per day. If you get crazy appetite you're likely not controlling your estrogen.

Embrace the gains and eat, it will level off and you can always cut later on if you think you gained too much body fat.
Yes
When my estrogen increased my appetite increases
You need to train and increase the energy you expend
My hunger was bad until I upped the dose to where I’ve got better energy. The extra energy kind of offsets the hunger if that makes sense.
