Do I use a dry or a liquid measuring cup for Coconut milk (canned)?

Use a liquid measuring cup for pourable dairy — they are calibrated for reading at the line. Dry cups overflow and read high.

Does Coconut milk (canned) density change after the container has been opened for several days?

Marginally. Butterfat can separate or bloom, but measured weight per cup/mL stays within 1 % as long as the product is within its use-by date.
