yes and no. if your taking it apart to fix it or just to see whats in there then what you need to worry about is 120v ac input, thats the end that plugs into the wall, it will kill you. the other end that plugs into the laptop is only 16v dc. just by touching it, with your finger for example you won't fee anything because of the resistance of your skin, aproximatly only 50 uA would be traveling through your finger to the other contact, you wouldn't feel it and it would't be harmfull. but still, don't use it in any what other than what it was intended for.

Any amount of electricity can kill you if the amps are high enough. The required number of amps to kill someone really depends on the situation they are in when exposed to it. So yes it can kill you if the conditions are right.

it only takes a charge of 0.2 Milliamps to halt cardiovascular function in a human. Wether or not the voltage is sufficient enough to transmit the amps into your body's heart is another question.
Dont go licking it.

100 milliamps can stop your heart, so 4 amps is more than sufficient to cause death.
