Mainly, it won't cool effectively. The refrigerant stays liquid in the coil, so you don't get the proper evaporation rate and heat transfer. Secondly, the A/C unit runs at higher pressures. Over a long enough period of time this could mean greater wear on internal compressor parts.
Yes!!! Most definately.
It can catch fire because it over works its self and can be very dangerous.
Many home AC units are sealed, and there is no way for a homeowner to add refrigerant.
Suction pressure
Call a professional.

An AC system should only be charged to the OEM specifications. An overcharged system will cause insufficient cooling, and excessively high pressures throughout the system.
well, what my parents do when this happens is turn off the ac unit completely, keep it off for an hour or two and then turn it back on and its working better
The coil are responsible for transferring of cool air trough the unit
You should be able to find air ac unit for a reasonable price ac any home improvement store ie: home depot.com,lowes.com. Most of these stores give instructions on how to do a chore.
Another homework or exam question...?
You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
