Thanks,

If you want the biscuits to strengthen the bond (ie they are not just for
alignment) you need a water-based glue to make them swell. I'd suggest PVA.

Yes and no.

If you have a good quality biscuit joiner and cut carefully, the
biscuits will be a fairly tight fit anyway and other glues such as
polyurethane, or epoxy can be used.

I am not convinced about the use of PVA with the edges of chipboard,
although it is fine for MDF.

Contact adhesive may be a better choice for chipboard but using the
biscuits purely for alignment.
