I think white or even cream would look too harsh. Not sure what "hickory" is but I would choose a creamy tan. An accent wall should stand out but not scream out! Three of my bedroom walls are a periwinkle (bluish-lavender) and my accent wall is a much darker shade of that same color. Looks good.

It depends on the size of the room. Dark colors will make the room seem so much smaller. If the room is small, I suggest white.

I hope that you have plenty of natural light in there because the red will make it look dark.. AND.. to choose a coordinating color to the red would probably be a medium beige.not light.. not dark brown but a sort of coffee with cream (cafe olay)

You need to first pick the red. Put it on the walls paint a sample to take with you to pick the other color

It depends on how dark you want your room to look. If you still
want it to be bright in there I would go with a lighter color.
