2) Giving rest to any muscle after severe stress for 48hrs is good. Alternative days would be fine.
3) As i already told you, you will have no spine problems or muscle,ligament tears or sprains if you follow proper procedures.
4) No, you cannot get paralyzed, as you can see there is an olympic event also called weight lifting and the people are quite healthy.
5) You can even lift double your weight or more, but that is with practice and working under proper coaches and hard workouts.
6) There are many other ways to increase muscles and this is not the only method, you can alternatively follow any good method.
Everything starts with proper balanced diet and then coming to cardio, weights etc. Take care!
