No, this is actually a standard configuration in the enterprise.
Many modern switches are now auto-MDI as well as auto-speed and auto-duplex so you often don't even need to use crossover cables.

It won't hurt anything. I've daisy-chained switches before, just make sure to note where you need a regular network cable vs. a crossover cable.

The cable doesn't be counted. yet all contraptions in contact could bypass the 1Gb speed. Your change and the playing cards in both pcs that are talking could have the capacity to bypass the 1Gb speed. If any are 100Mb speed, then the speed will be constrained to that.
