Is tis the kind of lime to use for old fashioned whitewashing?

Yes. I used it to make DIY milk paint.

How many bags are there? The picture shows a symbol for "3 count" and the description says 1 pound resealable bag.

There are 3 bags of (1 pound) mix. Each bag is 1 pound and you get 3 bags. Ordering this item would get you 3 pounds of mix divided into 3 bags.

Can this Pickling lime be used for preservation of farm fresh eggs?

Ignore Janet Phillips' comment - yes, this is what is used to water glass eggs. One ounce of the powdered lime to one quart of water.

How long does this pickling like last? Does it expire?

I am sure there is an expiration date on it. I wish it was published with the add. It should be good for a while but I ordered something else and the expiration date was coming up and I ended ip having to throw it away.

Senseless seal - otherwise the product does what it supposed to do.

Used it for nixtamalization. Does what it supposed to do. However: the bag has a reusable zip - but the seal is below this reusable closure. Hence it is not usable. Flaw in design of the bag. Otherwise - the content is as expected.

Highly recommended.

Pickling lime highly recommended. I use it for water glassing eggs. I used 1 oz to quart of water. Mixed until diluted thoroughly. Poured over clean unwashed eggs. Does as it should.
