No, you cannot ruin the refrigerator by opening and closing the door or by leaving the door open for a few minutes.
Refrigerators do have a lifespan for the number of times the doors can be opened and closed before a hinge breaks or the seal is damaged, but this cycle can be in the millions - so it won't be affected with normal use. Each time you open and close the refrigerator, some cool air escapes and can mean that the compressor will have to run to get temperature back to where it should be.
Leaving the door open for a few minutes does cool off the interior and things inside will begin to cool off as well. This will result in the refrigerator compressor having to run to get the temperature back down.
A good refrigerator is designed to have the compressor go through these cycles many thousands of times. The only reason someone may be concerned with having the refrigerator work more would be the electric bill (it goes up, refrigerator compressors use a lot of power) or the refrigerator compressor has had problems previously.

This is not a good idea. Cans are metal and can leave a bad taste on food if the food stays in the can after opening. Place foods in an air tight container and place the food in the refrigerator for storage.
