It is safe, the microwaves are inside the box, not outside.

It's safe as long as you remove the plant when you water it. Even a drop of water dripping inside the unit can cause a short. Some microwave ovens get hot on the top. If yours does, then check the plant often to make sure the soil stays somewhat moist.

If the microwave oven damages plants it is leaking microwaves and can injure/kill you. If microwave oven is operating properly putting plants on it should be ok,if you don't cover any openings in the cabinet

Place the plant in a dish so no water can run inside the microwave when you water. That could be dangerous to you.

Yes, it is safe. You'd have to put the plant inside the oven to kill it

Should be safe unless the oven is leaking.

Of course.
As long as they're outside it.
