Definitely can, but expect it to get a tad warmer than usual. Still, it's totally safe.
Nah, it's not the best idea. It gets warm and might throttle performance.
Yes, you can play on the Steam Deck while it charges. I do it all the time. The only thing to note is that it might get a bit warm during intense gaming sessions, but it's nothing to worry about.
Sure you can, but just make sure you're using the official charger or one with the right specs to avoid any issues.
