On low heat if she/he tolerates it

I do, you do have to watch the dog to make sure it doesn't freak them out. My dog doesn't like the noise. Drying with a blow drier is much faster and thorough than hand drying, after a bath.

Yeah if it doesnt scare them. At our clinic we and our groomer had a huge dryer that looked like an old fashion vaccuum and a cage dryer. They both work good. At home I use my hair dryer on low heat but my golden hates it because 1) she hates things blowing air on her, 2) she hates the noise, and 3) she has long hair and takes forever to dry so she has to hear it and feel it longer than my other dog. Good luck

Oh yes you can I do it on my dog all the time. Just keep it moving. It makes their fur smoother and softer. My dog has dandruff so drying it with a hair drying helps it a little.

Yes, but be careful because they can get hot. Keep the hair dryer moving around.
Bear in mind some dogs just don't like the dryer. They can be scary (like little vacuum cleaners near their head). In which case you may be resigned to towel drying

You can, but you have to be careful. Dogs can overheat a lot easier than people, so use a low heat setting, keep it moving, and watch for any signs that it is getting too hot. If you notice he is getting too hot, then just stop for a minute and let him cool down.

As long as it is not too hot you can, but be very careful that it is just warm and will not burn the dog, as they can be very sensitive.
