My first Onsen , where should I go ? My Trip is in mid. November 2017 /20 days.
It depends on which will be your base to stay. In case you will stay in Shinkuku, or other central area of Japan, I recommend Hakone Onsen (It's in Kanagawa prefecture). It doesn't take such a long time to visit there from Shinjuku.

Try to book Onsen Hotel most of them no option for unaccompanied,why?
Most of onsen ryokan (with tatami room) do not offer rooms for single particularly. The room can host from 2 people or more, so that might be the reason of rate not changing for unaccompanied visitors. (Because you have to use a room no matter if you are by yourself or with a company)

Best things to do as an Otaku on our first trip to Japan?
You should explore Akihabara. Shops such as Animate never makes you bored by just looking at neatly created figures. There are also themed cafes such as Gundam cafe and Square Enix cafe so if you want to enjoy being an Otaku from food, visiting such cafes might be a good idea, too.

What's the best etiquette in Onsen and Sento?
You have to wash your body before getting into the bath. When you get out, you should wipe your body with towel to avoid getting the changing room wet. These two points are the etiquette you should keep in your mind.

I'll be staying at Shinagawa Prince Hotel for a conference; what neighborhood is the closest to this hotel so I can stay 2 nights on my own before the conference?
Shinagawa has few hotels so you can also stay in Shinagawa. Other than than, staying along Yamanote Line Station would be easy to access to Shinagawa. Like Ebisu, Meguro, Gotanda, Hamamatsucho, Yurakucho, Shinbashi, etc.

Unfortunately, it's prohibited that people with tatoo enter public bath in many places. If yours is tiny, maybe you can hide it with towel and can enter.
