Your rendition, although technically correct, is awkward. 0110010100's answer is much better.

It's okay except that after the word "that" you need a substantive. In other words, you need an actual object to refer to. So instead, you can make the sentence more clear by saying "If you tell Mary that statement, you will worry about how she will feel."

Yes, this sentence is grammatically correct. In this sentence "that" is the object of the verb "tell" which makes "If you tell Mary that" a complete thought which should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, which it is.

I think the correct way would be:
If you let Mary know that, you will worry about how she feels afterwards.

No, doesn't sound right. Maybe "If you tell that to Mary..." would be better. ?????

It's not the best composition but it still reads OK. It's not incorrect for sure.
