It hesitates on idle and sometimes quit while idling.

Muffler design is to muffle the sound, decrease the sound, so that it makes less noise and perceive it as quiet. It is OK to run the car without a muffler. Other cars have a primary and secondary mufflers. In my opinion, I like to drive a car quietly, fast enough, so that no one notice me when I am there. Sound travels faster than a moving object.
A hesitation on idle? I think the repairs for you car are going to be expensive. I spend $1,000 worth of parts just to pass the smog test. My car have the same hesitation problem as your car have. I like my 97 Honda Civic LX with 247,000+ miles. I replace most the parts myself, and it is very well worth it.

No. It's a very bad idea. Exhausts are designed to provide the correct back-pressure and without them the engine will run very badly. Not sure about causing damage to the engine though!

I wouldn't do this for much longer. You repair bill will be 10X the cost of fixing the muffler, if this keeps up.
