yes

1. You will have to call S&W for a correct answer 2. Plus P means higher than normal pressure ammunition. "Other than 38 plus P" could mean another caliber, or normal pressure ammunition. The caliber should always match the revolver you are shooting. Normal pressure ammunition of the proper caliber can always be used in a firearm, unless the firearm is a machine gun which requires higher pressure ammunition to operate consistently.
No. From page 56 of the Taurus catalog there is no SAAMI specification for +P in .45 Long Colt caliber, therefore the warranty will be void if so called +P is fired.http://www.taurususa.com/2009catalog/?catalog_page=56
Yes, you can but it is NOT recommended. Only shoot +p ammo in .38SPL guns that are marked as +P.
