yes, it is still safe to eat but you mightwant to consider not letting food out for so long bacteria tends to multiply by the hour an if you have a weak immune system it might make you sick (nothing serious) reheat a high temperature and make sure its well cooked.

can be, not recommend at all. I personally know alot who do it, I choose not to only because I know all the little things that can come from food being out to long. I would say maybe 2 hours tops but that also depends on what it is, if its has mayo, dairy, or anything of the sort it should be put up ASAP

It might be. It's the actual temperature the food itself attained and for how long that would determine its safety.

It depends on how long you want to keep it (and how long it'll be before you need it). You can freeze it but remember if it's a whole ham, it will take awhile to freeze and also awhile to defrost. A ham will keep for about a week in the refrigerator and longer if you've got it in an airtight seal.
