slipping alternator/power steering/ auxillary drive belt
Yes, it is normal
It's probably the belt slipping. Check for belt tension. When an engine first starts the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. During that time, the alternator is harder to turn and if the belt isn't tight enough there can be some slipping between the belt and the pulley.
Have had the same problem in the mornings or when the engine is cold. I suspect the power steering belt is slipping.

1) normal operation when cold or 2) vacuum leak cause by shrunken gasket
White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.
This is condensation and it is normal for that to happen.
Only in an emergency. The computer will turn on the check engine light if the temp never reaches normal. A cold running engine is also more prone to oil sludge problems.Only in an emergency.

No, the check engine light will come on at first, and in the long run the oil will sludge up form running to cold.
Most likely needs a tuneup done. Check the timing and change the normal tuneup part.
The most common reason an engine would run cold or take a long time to reach normal operating temperature is a thermostat stuck in the OPEN position or no thermostat at all.
