If I install sockets on the wall, are they easy to wire up? How do I handle
Rx/Tx crossover (or don't I need to?)


You don't, that's handled by Ethernet - and most adapters now handle crossovers if they occur inadvertently.

I have read that there are restrictions on bending the cable
Will I be able to get around the 90 degree corner as I go up the side of a
wall and then turn to go along the ceiling, all inside trucking? Will I
have to go around that corner outside trucking to avoid bending the cable
too much?


Probably not.

Don't use CCA / aluminium cable.
