Yes, but primarily in legal texts, formal documents, and some religious contexts. In most professional writing, 'ska' is now acceptable, but 'skall' remains a marker of high formality.
Use 'ej' in formal lists, signs (e.g., 'Ej rökning'), or to avoid repeating 'inte' in a complex sentence. It sounds more concise and formal.
No, unless you are being ironic or writing to a very close friend who appreciates old-fashioned humor. In professional contexts, it sounds bizarre.
It uses the vocative address and omits the noun (land/jord) to create a timeless, personified address to Sweden.
Yes, but it is considered basic. Use 'skildrar' for a better grade.
'Skildra' is for themes/worlds, 'gestalta' is for characters.
