This weekend will be my first all grain brew using wheat as 50% of the grain bill. Any tips or suggestions for brewing with wheat.

I wouldn't worry about mash absorption. Mash a bit thinner if you want and just sparge until you have your volume. The rice hulls will help you achieve a nice runoff during the sparge.
If you are batch sparging I would just do it like you would any other beer.
I never use ricehulls with my wheat beers (typically 65% or so wheat) and never have any problem running off or batch sparging. But I use a bazooka screen in my mash tun so I don't know if that is what makes it work so well. That said, if you do use rice hulls I think 1lb is an insane amount. Don't know if you've used them before but 1lb is a pretty large volume of hulls. I typically only use a few handfuls.
