A photo would be helpful, since we really have no idea what you mean by sediment.

If you get a bunch of grain and hop material and/or break material in your fermenter it's not an issue. It will all settle out after fermentation is over. Just be careful not to pick it up with your siphon when you transfer.

Sounds like everything is all normal to me.

10 inches of sediment would be too much 
I usually get around 1-2 inches in the fermenter since I crush very fine and get some flour. It surely makes the fermenter look cloudy as the yeast are doing their thing, but after a week it drops out. If you have the ability to cold crash, I would recommend that as it will pack the sediment down a little more making racking easier.
