Hi Jose,
The extra charge is equal to the first day charge. Note that the charge is not for 24 hours, it is per calendar day.
If the first day charge is 500 yen, you will need to deposit additional 500 yen to open the locker on the second day until the end of the day.

Two train lines connect Kyoto Station with Nara: the JR Nara Line and the Kintetsu Kyoto Line.
On the JR Nara Line your can use ICOCA (or any other IC card) on any train. Miyakoji Rapid train is the fastest.

Kanazawa Station is not very complex to navigate. 8 minutes is enough to transfer from Ltd. Exp. Thunderbird to Shinkansen if you don't make any stops along the way. Look for the "Transfer Gate" from between local lines and the shinkansen platforms. Please refer to this article for station layout and transfer details: https://www.kanazawastation.com/kanazawa-station-map-finding-your-way/
With a JR pass you can book seats any time after activating the pass. We recommend booking seats a few days in advance. This can be done at any JR ticket office in Japan.
