Correct that resistivity in given table is the DC resistivity in

?
Should it be Ω/m as resistivity is proportional to length?
How to calculate α20 when temperature in cable is changing? Possible to assumed it's constant in temperature range og 20-90 degrees celcius?

The values are the ones you should use for d.c. resistivity and the units are Ω.m.
For 20 to 90°C, normally people would assume α is constant. Using a more accurate value is probably not going to make much difference (unless you are doing laboratory type experiments).
If you are interested in how α varies with temperature, an Internet search will give more information.
