No, 'ki' is specifically for reporting speech or thoughts. Use 'taaki' for purpose and 'haalanki' for contrast.
Yes, it usually triggers the subjunctive mood to express intent or goal.
It emphasizes the contrast, making the sentence flow better logically.
In casual speech, yes. In formal writing, it is better to include it.

'Taaki' is for purpose (so that), 'isliye' is for result (therefore).
