A tooth is not toxic in itself, but a tooth sometimes has had cavities filled with a substance called amalgam, which contains Mercury and is therefore not safe to swallow. So, it depends on the tooth. Some are safe to swallow, some are not.

Ask a hospatal to get it out.

A swallowed tooth will take anywhere from 1 to 5 days to come out on average. The actual time is based on an individuals digestive system and speed.
yes, you can get a crown on your broken teeth. But, i recommend you to try and get the broken tooth pull before it cause problems in the near future. It can cause nerves problem and then you will have a bigger problem.
Don't worry if you have swallowed an artificial tooth. It may come out either by womitting or by potty.
If it is an upper tooth, yes. That is because often the roots of the upper back teeth sit in the maxillary sinus. Any infection of those roots can result in problems with the sinus.
