It's not an official channel it's free. You get it through your PC.
Homebrew channel is the safest way to hack stuff. Although there haven't been very many cases about it bricking your wii, there is still a risk.
No most homebrew apps will not brick your wii. Due to misconceptions it is not illegal to alter your wii to accept homebrew. Many homebrew apps are made by programmers for free. It is however illegal to download, run, or even play any game that you do not own!!
Yes there are many homebrew games in the homebrew browser

It depends. If you use it to download commercial roms and emulators then it is not, but otherwise it is legal. Your warranty is voided but there is a low chance of 'bricking' your wii (modifying the firmware so that it won't start normally) but just backup your data and install starfall. p.s. there is a low chance of getting caught piratingNintendo does not support the Homebrew Channel. If you try and update your Wii firmware and it doesn't work but your Homebrew Channel gets deleted, try to update again and it should work.
Not unless you have a PAL version Wii and you have upgraded to firmware version 4.3. There are many videos on YouTube about this.
Dunno if it's perfectly safe, but if it is for softmodding the Wii (to add the Homebrew Channel and stuff), many people do it and still have a playable Wii
To see how many Wii Points you have, you go on Wii Shop Channel and you will see it near the bottom of the screen.
