Hi Jelle
1. AFAIK you can get them in preceding countries, but Brux may be better for Niger and Alg.
2. From Tahoua (or so) to Assamaka you may be a problem to them, or they will put you in a bus with a convoy.
3. If you mean other backpackers, in summer I don't think so. And not many European 4WDers either.
4. From Agadez to Assamaka or even to IGZ there will be trucks. From Algerian border (IGZ) you will have to have an expensive escort right across Algeria (which may cause you to reconsider your plan).
5. Only for Algeria must you organise in advance.
We all like an adventure but IMO summer is not the time to do this. Travelling will be exhausting. It is common to underestimate how draining the heat will be on your health. Even the locals avoid travelling long distances in summer. And avoid the Ramadan time especially
