No problem with the questions you've asked, but in case you don't know:
For rules questions: HeroQuest-rules_at_yahoogroups.com <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeroQuest-rules/> For philosophical questions or very detailed background questions: glorantha_at_...

Yes. They can, however, chose to retain the Aspect affinities (e.g. Heal
People, Heal Relationships in the case of Enferalda) *instead* of
learning the new Aspect affinities. So they still only have three
affinities at the end of it. Special feats (e.g. Enferalda's 'Make Less
Tired') cannot be carried over.

They certainly can, although their 'Devoted to' rating will drop to 3/4
its prior value. The only exception is if they have learnt the Secret of
the sub-cult: then, they can't change to another one because they're
already too devoted to their god.

Yes, I'd say so. That's rather the point of resheathing, IMO.

Certainly possible!

I dare say the relationship would get quite a big resistance to being
cut with a knife, but, if it seems appropriate, there's no inherent
reason why it shouldn't be possible.
