It is OK to crack your knuckles. If done too often, the joints can become a little loose, but it does not cause arthritis as the myth goes. I don't recommend cracking them more than a few times a day.

Yes only within its normal range of motion. Any force applied from a bad angle can result in injury.

Yes, cracking your knuckles is fine. I would recommend pulling the fingers away from the hand (distraction) as the method of cracking your fingers.
