Like most used US postage stamps these are worth 15 or 20 cents, the minimum amount required to catalog and stock the stamps. In Mint or Unused condition these can be purchased for about 75 cents and will always be worth at least their face value. Special cancellations and different values are likely to be worth more. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values.
A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope cancelled on the first day of issue of a new postage stamp. Today they will actually say "First Day of Issue" in the cancellation.

20 cents extra?

You should always consider carefully before removing a stamp from an envelope. It could be a First Day of Issue, or a commemorative cancellation. It might also be a special date that is related to the stamp or a historical event.

It depends on the time frame of the stamp. If there is a special cancellation, you definitely want to leave it on the cover. The older the piece, the more likely the cancellation and date will be of value.
No there is not. They only cover early interuptions though if you want to leave the trip part way through.
Sure, as long as it equals to the proper amount of postage in the end.
