The simple answer is no. Todays cars rely on a catalytic convertor to reduce emissions. When the engine has a misfire it increases the Hydrocarbons the cat has to clean. Although you probably won't hurt the engine the cat will surely be damaged. By the way an average cat repair is 300-800 dollars.
Yes.
If you drive your truck while there is a miss in the engine. You will notice it lacks power and may back fire.. if continued driving it will eventually just quit running

Check your alternator, it will cause the engine to miss if it is not putting out enough voltage under a load.
There is a serious "miss" or misfire, without more information it is impossible to diagnose why.
Yes, it is possible as you may have a miss. That miss would turn on the check engine light.
No it will not cause an engine miss.
Timing
Miss or vacuum leak.
Bad wire
Of course you can drive it with the check engine light on. But, depending on what the problem is, you may do damage to other components on the vehicle. For instance, if you have an engine miss causing the light to come on this will in time ruin the catalytic converter and O2 sensors on the vehicle. I would advise you to have the ECU scanned to retrieve the code which will tell you what part of the vehicle is being effected. The bottom line is that it all depends on what the problem is. You may drive the car with the check engine light on with no problems and then again it might cause serious problems.
