dont know the reason, but under some stress, or conditions where my varanus acanthurus has had to be defensive and ready, he(the male) has simulated vomitting. He will shake his head left and right and release(sometimes fling) almost whole crickets out of his mouth. There are some hissing, exhaling sounds, and jerky movements. afterwards he seems fine, and resumes eating successfully the following day.

Yes, believe me they do like any living thing if eats to much it's got to come out some how! Also if an animal becomes impacted it will generally bring the food back up, if the animal is impacted and cannot bring it back up, this can sometimes be fatal.

yes, very

No excluding the komodo dragon. The only venomous lizards on Earth are the Komodo Dragon (which is a monitor), the Gila monster, and the Beaded lizard. Monitors have an agonizing bite and tail whip, but are not venomous.
