Being on a trailer won't matter. A ground rod isn't mandatory but good to do. As long as you are using a 4 wire cable you will remove the bonding strap at the generator.

I mounted a receptacle. It made things clean and tidy.

Both are limiting you. If you want to go with a 60a breaker you'll need to get 4/4 SOOW cord and a 60a inlet. A MEP003 will do a little over 50a.

Since you are using a 50a plug and 6/4 SOOW cord you'll need to put in a 50a breaker instead of a 60a.

That is correct. You will need to change the breaker to a 60a - assuming that you are using normal 6 gauge copper and not SOOW cord or other temperature limited (and lower current capable) cabling. Nip off a bit of the 2 gauge wire and take it with you to shop for the breaker. You'll find that...

That is more complicated than it needs to be. All you need to do is set a box and make the splice inside the box. For wire that size you can't use an outlet box. You'll need to use something like a 6x6 box. You are allowed to join 2 different sized wires as long as the branch circuit breaker is...
