Yes.  Verify that the relay contacts are rated for the proper power.  For
"normal" listening levels, a 1 to 3 amp rating should be sufficient.  It
never hurts to go larger, though.

Normally, no.  However, try to avoid switching the speakers on, with the amp
already at a high volume.

For most modern amps, this is not a problem.  The only exception is tube
amplifiers (which are extremely rare).
