Of course, the Catholic Church is a large group of people, spanning over many lands and crossing cultural boundaries. Some people have different ways of expressing themselves in worship, leading to different liturgies all over the world, I believe there are about 23 in the Catholic Church overall, but we all have the same beliefs, they just celebrate slightly differently.

Yes. It's pretty much the same thing, worship wise. I recommend going to every kind of church imaginable. You learn new things, if not about yourself then about other people. I'm only scared to go to temple. I hear it's segregated by gender. I wouldn't know what to do.

Yeah, usually there are English Masses said at other times (or partly in English), although High Mass is still sung, and usually not in English, but you can follow along in the Missal. You may not be familiar with the hymns though.

I would imagine a Roman Catholic can go anywhere as long as they behave themselves.
Not too sure with Mormon temples or Muslim mosques.

yes, it is still a Catholic church. Just a different branch/country.

Absolutely.

"A person who assists at a Mass celebrated ANYWHERE in a Catholic rite either on the feast day itself or in the evening of the preceding day satisfies the obligation of participating in the Mass." -- Code of Canon Law, Can. 1248 ?1; emphasis mine

Yes. An RC can go into any church, but Byzantines are in Communion with Rome, so you could participate fully.

Yes.

With love in Christ.

yes

Absolutely.

Since they are both Catholic, there's nothing wrong with it. The traditions are slightly different than the Latin rite (Roman), but since both believe in the authority of the Pope, they are both Catholic, and, therefore, the same religion.
