1)Safer but, not nescessary.
2)Is difficult but, if you overload it, yes.

Its definetely not necessary. I hook up relays 6 days a week without disconnecting batteries once, and I haven't got hurt yet (knocks on wood).

Yes, you can overload a relay. They are rated to certain currents, usually small amperages though, but nothing that you'd be pushing it with from a car wiring system.
