What linetype and lineweight would you for an existing structure? For plan work and details, I use a shaded (grayscale at 50%) for the existing structure and the new modifications/new structure will be regular solid lineweight. The linetype for existing plan work is a short dash and for existing in details we use a dash double dot.
What do you use for demolition? We use the structural components not to be demolished as the same as existing structure and the structural components to be demolished are bold and dashed.
What do you use for existing and demolition and what is the typical convention for existing and demolition?

We do not put the demolition line on our structural. We figure they can see it on the archtectural drawing. We just put the new lines and the existing lines that stay.

The key here is to simply be clear in what you are "telling" the contractor.
Keep in mind that the "work" of the project is what you note, not necessarily what you draw.
The required work represented by your plans should be described by:
A series of notes with linework which supports and clarifies the notes.
and not by:
A series of lines with a few notes to clarify the lines.
