When you unbolt the bell housing and everything just support the bell housing. I use a floor jack and then pull the motor foreword and then up then you should be fine

Yes, to keep the T/C engaged with the AT primary shaft and also prevent loss of transmission fluid.

Pictures or it just ain't true. Pull the radiator out if you haven't already done so, more room and no way to damage it if it's out of the way.
