Yeah it's not a problem. Why would you not want to charge it anyway? o-o

It can be done, I think. You might need a customized data cable (not sure, just airing my opinion).

No it doesn't ruin battery life. It's actually better to charge li-ion batteries in smaller intervals than letting it drain to 0 then charging to 100 in one go all the time.

Calibrate only when you think something's wrong with it. Some people recommend calibrating after flashing a new rom, or after restoring from a nandroid backup.
