Some people use initial capitals on all pronouns referring to Jesus or God, as a sign of respect. I have then seen some scholars similarly use initial capitals on all pronouns referring to all gods, in order to demonstrate equal respect.

The King James Bible does not capitalise the pronouns referring to Jesus or God, and I usually follow this precedent.

No.

There is no grammar rule that says you need to capitalize the first letter of a pronoun that refers to either God or Jesus.

However, it is customary in most christian religions, to capitalize such pronouns, but it is not obligatory.

Yes, it is appropriate to capitalize "Jesus Christ" when referring to the biblical figure as it is a proper noun.

Some people capitalise it, as Son of God. If you are using this phrase a a specific, alternative name for Jesus, then it would be grammatically correct to capitalise it.
