In general caps must be rated at list 25% over max operational voltage. In case with BL motors you need to add BackEMF...

With proper technique you can reduce 25% margin to 5%.

For the rest:

1. No
2. No ( I provided the link for the proper replacement, what's wrong with that part? )
3. Yes, very bad
4. Yes, as long as wires are short, and caps connected on ESC side of power connector.
5. Can you draw (schematic or smth) of what you planning to do?
