It's the grammatical signal that you are not an eyewitness. If you keep it, you are taking personal responsibility for the truth of the statement.
Only if you don't remember them (e.g., when you were a baby or if you were sleepwalking). Otherwise, it sounds like you're having an out-of-body experience!
No, but it draws heavily from it. Literary Bulgarian follows modern grammar but uses archaic vocabulary and stylistic flourishes.
Use them sparingly. Words like взаимодействие (interaction) are fine, but въжделение (longing) would be very strange in a professional context.
Technically no. 'Нима' almost always implies that the speaker has a preconceived opinion or is expressing disbelief. For a neutral question, use 'дали' or just the particle 'ли'.
Look at the context and intonation. If the answer is obvious to everyone, it's rhetorical. If the speaker's voice drops at the end, it's likely rhetorical.
