Is it true that in the NFL a placekick or dropkick doesn't have to be considered a FG attempt?
By rule, if you kick the ball during a scrimmage down, it's called a "scrimmage kick." If a scrimmage kick off the ground goes through the uprights, it's a field goal. Technically, there is no rule that defines a field goal "attempt."
You don't necessarily have to "attempt" a field goal when placekicking on a scrimmage down, but if your kick doesn't go through the uprights, the same rules apply as would for a missed field goal.

If you are asking if you can touch a receiver without drawing an interference penalty, then yes, you can. Interference is a deliberate contact act that impedes a receivers ability to catch a pass.
You can touch and place your hand on a receiver, much like a basketball defender does, however if you push or put some pressure or weight on that hand, you are going to put yourself at risk at interfering with the receiver.
No. A player cannot be signed from one practice squad to another.
A practice squad player from one squad can be signed to the ACTIVE roster of another squad easily, but they must remain on the new team's active roster (as long as they're healthy) for the remainder of the season
On a punt, the ball would simply be given to the receiving team at the 20 yard line. Touchback, no points. That's because the kicking team can't be the first to touch a scrimmage kick (punts, placekicks, dropkicks). If they do touch it first, the ball is dead and still goes to the receiving team.
On a kickoff, if the ball went into the end zone and the kicking team recovered, it would be a touchdown for the kicking team. Free kicks are available for either team to recover, provided the ball has traveled at least 10 yards.
