Measure the outside diameter of your tube, not the inside, and check it against the fitting before drilling anything. Canopy tube comes in several common sizes and they are close enough to look interchangeable across a workshop bench. A loose socket will wear oval and rattle within a season.
No. A canopy or bimini needs a pair working as a hinge line, and usually a strut or a rear brace as well. A single pivot lets the frame twist sideways in wind and that twisting is what snaps tube and tears fabric, not the vertical load.
You can, provided there is timber or a solid rail behind the skin to bolt into. Thin alloy cladding on its own will tear out the first time the awning catches a gust. Use an isolating barrier between the stainless and the alloy, and seal the penetrations properly.
