Would this work with an open platform bird feeder that is 10x10 hanging from my roof awning?

It should work. I have an open platform feeder that is 10X15 hanging under the dome which is suspended from the edge of our patio roof. The birds use it but the squirrels have not (yet) gotten to the feeder. Make sure you have enough space between the wall and your hanger (at least 10 inches).

Would this baffle keep squirrels out over a 12" platform feeder?

My local squirrels figured out how to overcome this baffle. They can't reach the 12" platform feeder underneath it. They slide off the top and plummet 4 feet to the ground. On the way down they twist and grab for the edge of the platform feeder. At first they missed every time, but after a couple of days they starting getting the hang of it by aiming for the corners. I'm not kidding. They are improving their average hit rate. I'm going to try a smaller platform.

By how many inches does this lower the bird feeder?

The top hook is 4" long and the bottom hook, under the hood is 2 1/2" long, so about 6 1/2" lower. You can put in a shorter top hook if you need it to be higher.

What can be done so this doesn't move a lot when it's windy? Both hooks on dome are short and it still happens even in light wind....

I keep two feeders with the domes in an area sheltered from the wind but they still move a lot from time to time. You might consider adding weights to the hook, immediately below the dome.
