No, there is nothing wrong with that. Just cite your sources as a courtesy to everyone including the source. It is usually better to paraphrase and put your own flavor in an answer.
There have been times when I have copied and pasted my own answers because it seems like the same old questions get asked daily.

Not wrong at all. Someone asked a question, I found the answer. If it was something I didn't know beforehand, I always cite my source.

Not if it gives the asker the information they need. As long as you don't do that with other peoples answers.

If you quote, not at all.
Most people don't, so it's mostly moot.
