basically yeah, it is made to have a little slack though. your engine should vibrate evenly, if its vibrating erratically, then you might have a broken frame (doubtful) or a broken mount, or possibly timing or firing issue.
A great vibration was immediately obvious when the engine came loose from the motor mount. A kitten's purr is always a good vibration.

You can feel the engine running inside the car not necessarily vibration but it can cause vibration but for sure you can feel the engine running at your foot.
Yes, definately. This component absorbs vibration from the engine rather than the vibration being transmitted to the structure of the vehicle. If the mount is damaged then it is unlikely to perform effectively. This will lead to increased noise and potential severe damage to the surrounding structure which could cost much more to resolve than chaning the engine mount.
It is according to when you feel the vibration. If you have a vibration at higher speeds, your driveshaft could be out of balance. At lower speeds, you may actually have a cracked engine mount. Take it to a shop before it tears something up.
definant possibility. with a broken motor mount, the engine will lift up during acceleration thus causing vibration.
It could be your engine mount or you might need an alignment.
There is one mount in the center of the engine below the vibration damper. There is the torsion strut mounted to the top of the radiator support then to the top of the engine. If your car has the 205L 4 cylinder engine there is another mount on the transaxle in line with the center of the engine. If your car has the 2.8L 6 cylinder engine there is a mount on either side of the transaxle.
One (out of three ) motor (engine) mount might need to be replaced.
Look visually; start engine and note worse vibration location. Sometimes , with engine cooled, shake engine by hand at different locations and note any looseness.
a weak battery will not cause an engine vibration.
Minor problems will be increased engine noise and vibration, jerkiness when putting it to gear, etc. Worst case scenario will be the engine falling off from the mountings...
