The only 'risk' is that you might not have enough disk space. It will
check this (the check is unreliable in some earlier versions) and warn,
but otherwise it should work. But if anything fails you can just go
back to 1.4 (before you add anything new to 1.5) and you wont lose
anything.

No, it is automatic.

Yes it does it relatively silently (it shows progress bars).

If you aren't already building things from source i'd recommend
snapshots. Like any snapshots the stability may vary from day to day,
so when you find one that works well stick to it.
Stability is generally good. The mailer is better still I think,
although i'm a bit biased, and I don't really use the other parts much -
but going on the bug counts.
