Plastic does not get into your food, but small amounts of dioxins will leach into it. Johns Hopkins did a recent study that showed this. It's always better to warm your food in glass containers.

As long as the container is microwave safe I don't see why there would be any problem. If it is not microwave safe there is a chance that the container can melt, then plastic can get into your food. It can also make a big mess!

The food will be fine, but the container may suffer. Hot spots in the food can damage low-melting plastics such as polyethylene, so if you want to re-use the container, it would be well to transfer the food to something like Pyrex or earthenware before heating it.

I would think that is somewhat harmful. If you overheat the plastic it melts.
