Yes you can as long as they are fully covered over with water (or they will turn a horrible grey/brown where they are exposed to the air). Also, you don't wait too long to cook them the next day. Make sure that you empty the water that the potatoes have soaked in and then rinse them well before re-filling the pot.

Yes, they don't need refrigeration. Put some salt in the water as this allows osmosis within the cells of the potatoes and keeps them firm.

No. After veggies have been processed, it is not a good idea to leave them at room temperature. The cut surfaces, moisture and warmth provide an ideal environment for bacterial growth.

Yes, in the refrigerator. Typically, I cut fries a day in advance and keep them in salted water in the fridge for 24 hours. This draws the starch out of the potatoes and makes it unnecessary to salt them after fried. Actually, I try to do this with any potato dishes I make.

Soaking potatoes rids them of their rich potassium.
