Yes, courtyard gives you the space requirement of a component. Sometimes, the working space of a rework tool takes precidence, though.

You want to make it from scratch? Design the circuit, do the layout, and make the PCB, then populate it? You can't make the raw boards at home. What are you studing at uni?

Bingo. Or, work with the product designers to incorporate component processing temperature limits into their product specifications. After all, they ARE the ones that generate the BOM, right? Yeah, I know....good luck with that.
