You may get an upset stomach, but otherwise, not much harm.

depends on the type of cheese. Molds are microscopic organisms that have thread-like roots that burrow into the foods they grow on.
Most molds are harmless. Molds are even used to make some kinds of cheese, such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola, brie and Camembert. These molds are safe to eat. But mold on cheese that's not part of the manufacturing process can harbor harmful bacteria, such as listeria, brucella, salmonella and E. coli . With hard and semi-soft cheese, you can cut away the moldy part and eat the rest of the cheese. But soft cheeses should be discarded.
Hard Cheddar, Colby, Swiss, Parmesan, Romano, Gruyere Safe to eat if the mold is removed. Cut off at least one inch around and below the mold spot. Keep the knife out of the mold itself so that it doesn't cross-contaminate other parts of the cheese. Cover the cheese in fresh wrap.
Semisoft American, Asiago, baby Swiss, Monterey jack, mozzarella, Muenster, Gorgonzola Safe to eat if the mold is removed. Cut off at least one inch around and below the mold spot. Keep the knife out of the mold itself so that it doesn't cross-contaminate other parts of the cheese. Cover the cheese in fresh wrap.
Soft Brie, Camembert, cottage cheese, Neufchatel, feta, ricotta, shredded and sliced cheeses Discard the cheese

Probably not. We usually just cut it off and eat the rest. Some cheese is mold anyway.

Unless you have an allergy to mold or penicillan you should be fine, after all blue cheese has mold in it.

Probably won't get sick unless you're allergic to it. I ate moldy cheese once, and I didn't even get a cold for three years!
