As long as all 4 wheels are going the same speed your fine but if 1 is spinning DO NOT shift to 4x4 until it stops.

To be safe, I put the clutch in when shifting in/out of 4HI while moving.

Assuming your hubs are already locked then yes. As a general rule I don't shift on the fly when applying throttle. So I just let off the gas then shift.

Yes as long as the hubs are locked in before and your not doing tight circles you will be fine, 4 low requires you to stop completely.
