How do you prepare a solution of methylcellulose?

To get something as thick as KY jelly, it's about 10 to 1 ratio (water to powder). Just add the stuff to clean water, stir, wait, stir some more and so forth until it finally all dissolves. It may take a few days. I don't know how to use it in cooking.

For making a solution, I tried stirring in cold water and it just clumped up. Is mixing in hot water the only quick solution (pun intended)?

If it's clumping that means the powder is not sufficiently dispersed, as it does not require heat to hydrate. Try an immersion blender or other blender with high shear.

At colder temp's = Methylcellulose becomes more wattery. if heated it become very thick. will it become wattery when it cools back down?

F50 forms a reversible thermal gel. It has the ability to gel when heated and revert back to its original state when cooled. Thickness and wateriness will depend on usage ratios. F50 is a semi-soft gel with low viscosity so you will have to experiment to get the exact texture you are looking for.
