How fine are the particles of this starch?

Consistent is like fine powder, similar to flour.

would this work for taking oil from hair?

Yes. Both powdered rice starch and powdered corn starch can be used to make a dry "shampoo". Starch is non-toxic and edible. As for glue...when mixed with hot water, the glucose molecules in starches break down the the starch turns into a gelatin. Starch gels can be used in cooking to thicken sauces. When the gel dries, it's sticky. So it can also be used as a glue (like flour wallpaper paste). However, mixed with cold water, it can be used to starch fabric. It will stiffen and protect it but it won't make it stick. Your hair, too.

I am looking for rice starch for my gluten free yeast bread baking-is this food grade ok to bake with?

this is used as a 'glue'. It is a fine art material. I would not eat it.
