Should not harm the clutch, but this would be a very dangerous thing to do. Your car is now free wheeling and is not under power or good control from you. By doing so you are just an accident looking for a place to happen.
This would be almost the same a truckers using Colorado overdrive and that is illegal. If you don't know what that means, look it up.

It is bad but it should not brake your clutch. the only thing it will do is to increase the wear of the clutch for that 1/4 mile versus normal use. Dont worry about it.
Don't make it a habit though.
switch to neutral and let the clutch go.
Good luck

No, it won't hurt a thing, with the clutch in the engine and transmission are seperated so the engine won't slow the car, but thats about it.

Not really, as long as it is fully depressed. It is a safer bet to put it in neutral and let off the clutch, though.

Nope.
Your leg might get tired, but that's it.
Unless you're coasting 60 MPH in first gear you could blow the gears up in your tranny.
