No, for physical height like a shelf, just use 'rafa'a'. 'Mustawa' implies a standard or quality.

It's neutral. You can use it in a business meeting or with friends talking about a game.

The plural is 'mustawayat' (مستويات). You can say 'يرفع مستويات الأداء'.

This is the exact equivalent: 'يرفع مستوى المعايير' or just 'يرفع المستوى'.

Yes, to mean improving their skills or status: 'رفع مستوى الموظفين'.

'Yarfa' is more standard/formal; 'yu'alli' is more common in Egyptian/Levantine dialects.

'Yukhaffid mustawa' (to lower the level) or 'yuhbit' (to bring down).
