No, the Ottoman Empire was not the largest and most influential Christian empire. It was a large and influential Islamic empire.
The Islamic Empire became powerful by conquering large swathes of territory from severely weakened and unprepared empires. It then put the conquered peoples to use in becoming the vanguard of subsequent conquests.

YES. The policies of discrimination against Non-Muslims in Islamic Empires led to large-scale conversions by Non-Muslims to Islam.
There was no single Islamic Empire, but assuming that you are referring to the Rashidun, Umayyad (Damascus), and Abbassid Caliphates, these were complex states with a large bureaucracy, numerous governates and more local regions, and a complex hierarchical leadership.

The term "gunpowder empire" is usually traced to the work of historian Marshall G. Hodgson, who sought to explain the rise of empires in the Islamic world.A "gunpowder empire" was a new, large-scale empire that relied heavily on firearms to maintain dominion. It's usually applied to Middle Eastern empires, particularly the Ottoman Empire. This was a change from the Mongol Empire which conquered on horseback using swords and torches.

Both Jews and Muslims believe in Moses as prophet (peace be upon him) and believe in God as the one and only one God with no partner, no companion, no son, no father, no associate, and no equivalence. Historically, Jews preferred Islamic regimes where they would be protected second-class citizens to Christian regimes where they would be actively persecuted. (Of course there were anomalies in both categories such as the Almohad Empire which was an Islamic Empire that persecuted Jews vigorously and Poland-Lithuania which was a Christian Empire that protected and nurtured its Jewish community, but by and large, it was better to be a Jew in an Islamic Empire than a Christian one.) However, as Europe and the Americas became more liberal, emancipating their Jewish communities, Jewish status in the West was superior to that in the Islamic World. This combined with the general Islamic revulsion towards Jewish Nationalism (Zionism), led to a breaking of strong ties between the Jewish and Islamic communities.
The Roman Empire included a large sum of Europe. The Holy Roman Empire(Medieval Period) expanded over all of Western Europe and bordered the Byzantine Empire. The city of Rome is located on the Italian Peninsula.
