Whines? If its not a grinding scritching noise more common then just a whine, if it is indeed a whine I would tend to think that your starter's drive roller clutch is worn to the point that the drive will need replacing, they are about $10=20. likely time for a starter overhaul, Bushings, brushes, Solenoid.
Solenoid the starter is stuck would be my suspicion.
It would stop.
Did you follow the starter alignment instructions when you replaced the starter? Are you getting oil on the Bendix? That could cause the starter gear to engage slowly. It is possible that the replacment starter has a problem. Also, if the previous starter had the same problem it could have damaged the gear on the flex plate.
The starter would self destruct from over revving once the engine started.
It is mounted on the starter motor itself. When you get another starter, it will have the solenoid mounted on it already. If it is bad, just replace the starter, I would not change just the solenoid.
Yes they will. They would whine.
The correct way to spell it would be "whining".
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.

A; fluorescent lamps needs 500 v to start once started the voltage drops to ~90 v the starter perform the kicking to get to 500 volts without it it will not start so taking it out after it started that is when it is not longer needed
A high-pitched whine in a Dodge Dakota only when the weather is cold might be a normal thing. When the weather gets cold, the belts, starter and alternator need time to warm up. Try a little drop of dish soap on the fan belt to see if this helps quiet the whining.
