Iron Dome is not the same as Barak 8. They do not share anything other than being manufactured by IAI

But this will be increased to 24 in future
Nope, Most probably as members already discussed in other thread,
it is built for long endurance hence installing more VLS might reduce the amount of fuel/Supplies.

Brahmos is a 3 ton missile. 24 or more such in a 8000 tonne ship is pure hollywood fantasy
