No problem.

Most camcorders have some kind of external 'analogue' input connections. they either come in the form of 3 round circular inputs (red / yellow and white) or a single small black connector which combines all three inputs using a cable like THESE

Essentially all you need on the camcorder is a video input and audio input from the outside world (which most do these days)

No pixies required here - these bullet cams are basically like having an external lenswink
Megapixels are a reference to the way digital images are represented. Lots more on this sort of thing here:

Yes - I used to wrap mine in bubble wrap and lock it in the glove compartment!

The larger the camera, the more difficult it is to keep stil/ stop vibration. Thats why bullet cams are so steady & they can be placed anywhere.
