No, the catalytic converter has nothing whatsoever to do with your defrost system.
Faulty catalytic converter, or sensors in exhaust faulty

Yes, it can if faulty or missing.
Immediately.
A faulty muffler will not cause this but a clogged catalytic converter will.
Most likely a faulty gasket in the oil system, a faulty catalytic converter or a faulty component in the exhaust system.

the trouble code you have received actually means that the oxygen sensor is reading that your catalytic converter (which breaks down harmful emissions ) is no longer operating properly. Either the oxygen sensor is faulty and is giving a incorrect reading,which means you must repalce it, or the catalytic converter is faulty, and must be replaced.
Yes, a faulty catalytic converter can cause fuel consumption to raise. Replacing a known bad catalytic converter will help, but keep in mind, the catalytic converter usually does not fail on its own. converters are pretty tough, living their lives running at 2000+ degrese internally. I would check your EGR valve and EGR valve tube for blockage or carbon build up. a faulty or clogged EGR valve will overtime distroy a catalytic converter. second thing to check is your Oxygen Sensors. these sensors are the computers first reading of bad fuel mixture, if they are clogged with carbon, they can distroy your EGR valve, which inturn kills your converter.
yes but it would need to be a very serious flaw
Code P0430 for Land Rover indicates a problem with the catalytic converter's efficiency on bank two of the engine. This code typically suggests that the catalytic converter is not functioning properly, which may lead to increased emissions and decreased engine performance. Possible causes include a faulty catalytic converter, oxygen sensor issues, or exhaust leaks. It's important to diagnose the underlying issue to avoid further damage and ensure optimal vehicle performance.
Yes, it can cause damage to the O2 sensor and catalytic converter.
