Yes. Rifled slugs are intended for smoothbore barrels (abot slugs aer for RIFLED barrels). Best accuracy with rifled slugs is USUALLY a modified choke, but can be safely fired thru any choke less than EXTRA full choke.
yes but its dangerous.
Never fire a shotgun without a choke tube installed. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
That will depend on whether the choke tube is rated for steel shot or not.
Most ARE shot from full choke- or even Extra Full Choke.

No. A choke tube slips into and screws to the muzzle end of the barrel. It can only decrease the inside diameter.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIRE BUCKSHOT OUT OF A THREADED BARREL WITHOUT A CHOKE TUBE INSTALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danger, Danger, Danger
rifled choke tubes for sabot slugs and cylinder or improved cylinder choke tube for foster type slugs. you can shoot slugs with semi-auto. experiment to find what cycles the best without jamming.
4 notches = cylinder choke (open), and one notch = full choke (tight)
Possible, but, not recommended.
Yes. I duck hunt and my primary gun is an 835 Ulti-Mag. It is perfectly suitable to shoot steel through the 835, but make sure that your choke tube is suitable to do so. Yes.

From Mossberg's website:"Can I shoot slugs or buckshot through a "smoothbore" field barrel with Accu-Choke™ tubes? (500/505/535/9200/88/930 models) Yes, and with sabots or rifled slugs, the more "open" the choke tube, the better the accuracy ("Improved Cylinder" recommended.) The "full" or "modified" choke tubes are preferred for buckshot loads. Slugs, buckshot and steel shot loads are not recommended for use with an extra full "turkey tube" installed, due to the tube's tight constriction. Do not fire any load without a choke tube installed, doing so will damage the internal choke tube threads. "
