I wouldn't use a semicolon in a conditional (if) sentence. Semicolons can join two independent clauses without a conjunction. The "if" clause in a conditional sentence is dependent, not independent.

When a statement is followed by a semicolon, this means that there is going to be another statement following the first statement which is related to it closely enough that it should not become a separate sentence.
The quotation mark would go before the semicolon, because the semicolon represents the beginning of a new thought in the same sentence.

No, the word "and" should not follow a semicolon. Semicolons are used to separate independent clauses; if you want to include "and," it would typically be used within one of the independent clauses separated by the semicolon.

Yes, the first word after a semicolon should be capitalized if it is the start of a new sentence or independent clause.
