If you are driving under 30 MPH it probably won't do much damage, but shifting to neutral at highway speeds and you will ruin your engine.
If you start skidding on an icy road (probably going 20 MPH or less) shifting to neutral will take you out of the skid and stop your vehicle immediately. Doing this spared me from colliding with another car when I was skidding in snowy weather.

No, bad front wheel bearings would not prevent a transmission from shifting. If your car has bad front wheel bearings you will notice wheel noise or wheel looseness.
Alot of things.. bad gas.. No gas.. Engine is dead.. etc.
Synchro's are going bad inside the trans, should only be an issue while moving.
Yes, always use your clutch for any kind of shifting
If there is no trouble while shifting, then the problem most likely is with the ignition sequence. This could be caused by bad gasoline, a bad timing assembly or faulty spark plugs/wires.
No.
Yes, you could severely damage a transmission by shifting into reverse while moving forward. But the odds of the transmission actually going into reverse are not good because there are safety mechanisms in place to prevent it from happening.
No. Not until now, I haven't had any bad experiences driving my sebring.
Yes that denial would be an impairment to driving, especially if your bad driving habits risk a serious collision.
No.
