Well nothing then again you could loose the piercing. Don't mess around with your piercing unless you have decided to go without it, then take it out and leave it out. Screwing around with a piercing that isn't healed is inviting infection, tearing and other nasty things to happen to a new piercing just because you were curious.
Why do you have a tongue piercing? No it probably won't rip, and if you rip it out of your tongue yes of course you take it out. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . ,.-'". . . . . . . . . .``~., . . . . . . . .. . . . . .,.-". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."-., . . . . .. . . . . . ..,/. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

No, do not remove the jewelry at all. It can be difficult to get the jewelry back in a new piercing, plus you could cause a rip or tear in the piercing site if you try and have trouble with it.
ok, if its hard around the Piercing that's normal, its a callus forming, but if your whole tongue is hard, then I'm not for sure why that is, only thing i can think of is the swelling.
A new tongue piercing can start to close within hours to days if jewelry is removed, as the tongue is a fast-healing area due to its rich blood supply. However, it can take several weeks to fully close up depending on individual healing characteristics and how long the piercing has been in place.
No. Especially if the piercing is brand new.
after it has healed which is usually 3-4 weeks from the date it was pierced.
Ice, yoghurt, and just a lot of soft foods like jello or applesauce.
It's important to allow your tongue to fully heal before getting it repierced. I would recommend waiting at least 4-6 weeks to ensure the area has properly healed and there is reduced risk of infection. Be sure to consult with a reputable piercer for guidance on when it is safe to get it repierced.
Well I for one wouldn't be using lemon on any oral piercing let alone a tongue piercing, acetic acid or citric acid will irritate the piercing if it's new. Think about reviewing your written aftercare instructions your professional body piercer provided for you.
Typically a new tongue piercing will discharge for 6 to 8 weeks and then ease off as the fistula* is formed (*fistula is the tube of new tissue that makes up the actual piercing hole). Swelling is at it's height for about 2 weeks (14 days post piercing) then once the swelling has eased it's a very good idea to have the piercing jewellery downsized to avoid dental damage from biting the jewellery. Plastic barbells are not recommended for new piercings and actually can fail due to the swelling leading to swallowing or inhaling the plastic barbell. A tongue piercing like any piercing is never to be considered fully healed until it's a full year old, you can have a light heal but it takes a full year for the piercing to season up allowing for removal or the jewellery for extended period of time.
Most studios won't use your own barbell unless it was used for a previous tongue piercing you had. See we need to know what the barbell is made of , some barbells available from "novelty stores" are generally junk and that's the last thing we want to put into your tongue. Now if the barbell is the right size for your piercing and you can confirm it's good quality, and the piercer is good with that, they will need to autoclave it before it can be used. This involves putting it in the autoclave to sterilize it before it can be considered safe for a new piercing. So your best bet is to call your local body piercing studio's and see what they have to say. So will, some won't, others might.
