He did not! Read the story again, and you will see 1) there was no sex with the pharaoh 2) Abram was afraid for his life so he had Sari tell the pharaoh that she was Abrams sister, which technically she was, she was his half sister.

The verses you've sited are simply an account of what happened. Where does it say that God was happy with what Abram did? It would be the same as someone possible watching you driving faster than the posted speed limit and them assuming that it must be ok to do so because you were not caught or punished at the time. There are many things in the bible that occur that are not directly condoned, condemned, mentioned, and not mentioned. For example, only a couple of times in the New Testament does it mention where Jesus and the Disciples ate any food. Should we assume that they only ate the times it mentions them eating? Of course not, it just wasn't mentioned the other times. Just remember, the Old Testament is an account of things in chronological order (this then this then this). Very few times does it mention that God disapproved of the action, although common sense says that he did (according to the law...IE Ten Commandments)

Out of fear for her and himself. The Pharaoh didn't actually "go into her" or "know her" however.
