1. I'm frankly not that familiar with VPN because I've never had to use it. (Hooray for Japanese IP :D), but from what I've heard the worst that could happen to you is that DMM asks you to change your password because when a lot of people use the same VPN it might look kinda suspicious to them.

2. It's definitely more convenient, that's for sure. With an API link you don't have to log in, therefore you can skip all the VPN stuff. Just paste it into the address bar of your browser and you're ready to go. You can also use it in KanColleViewer or a Standalone Flash Player among other things. However, while you technically don't have to, it's better to fetch a new API link whenever you can. Especially after any major update.

3. I don't know which browser you're using, but in Firefox the Inspector tool short-cut is Ctrl+Shift+C. After you've opened it just hover the cursor over the game window, the tool should then highlight your API link in the tool bar. Copypaste it somewhere, bookmark it or whatever.
