Yes but not by much.

can you block the high side on the ac on a car to stop a leak
This is entirely dependent on how many cylinders your engine has, how fast you are going, wind conditions etc. On a Mercedes C280 V6 traveling at freeway speeds with the AC on, I average about 21 MPG.
buy the book on your car car.
The AC system will vibrate, and pressure throughout the system will be extremely high.
In the city you will use more fuel with the A/C on. On the other hand, at highway speeds, you actually use less fuel with the A/C on windows up, versus A/C off windows down.
Yes. The AC system uses a compressor, which is driven by the engine of the car, and typically will use a few horsepower to drive it. The increased workload on the engine results in lower fuel mileage.
An engine usually has a higher idle speed when the ac is running. If the high speed idle does not operate then the ac will cause the engine to stall.
High side and low side refer to the pressure in the ac system. Ie The high side is the high pressure line and low side is the low pressure line.
There is a fuel leak in the engine compartment. Have a mechanic look at the engine.
Idling a new car with the AC on for long periods can lead to engine wear and increased fuel consumption, as the engine is running without moving the vehicle. Additionally, prolonged idling can cause the catalytic converter to overheat, potentially leading to damage. It's generally more efficient to turn off the engine if you're parked for an extended time. Instead, consider turning off the AC and using the vehicle's ventilation system to stay comfortable.
