A plant needs a preferred amount of soil (nutrient) to grow a reasonably decent crop. Without knowing what size pot you have I always question whether people use a big enough pot for what they want to grow. For myself I would not try to grow cucumbers in a pot smaller than 500-600mm diameter and 300mm deep.

What is the difference between growing in hanging basket and on trellis. Probably grow any kind. Try apple cucumbers - a lot more taste.

Yes - have good fertile soil to start with and make sure you water them regularly.

If your harvest is small then you could try hand pollination to ensure a larger harvest, as no pollination means no fruit.

Hand pollen in the morning as the flower is shut in the arvo.

Tony, an old bushy's trick is to grease a tub or bucket (plastic works well) to about 3 to 4 inches from the top, fill to just below the grease line with water and put grain or food that floats onto the water. Check daily.
