Let me just start off by saying ....... I'm 100% a total noob when it comes to rotational play. (The closest I have ever came to it was in TS2 when I made specific sims be neighbors in an apartment an...

1. Yes. Especially at festivals, parks, and restaurants (without mods). Sometimes it isn't 100% of the household though, it could be two or three members of a larger household.
2. Yes, sentiments and relationship gain/loss will persist. But, it fades according to the total amount of time that elapses. If active played sim 1 makes friends with inactive played sim 2, and then you rotate away and it takes you six sim-weeks to rotate around to sim 2, they might not still be friends and sim 2 may even have the "personal rift" sentiment that comes from a friendship dropping below friend status. In my rotational game I tend to spend the first day or two of each rotation having my sims socialize with the friendships I care about most.
3. I have multiple saves, but my rotational game has about 12 played households in it.
4. Nope. I live dangerously and roll with whatever happens. Well, mostly. I do make backups from time to time.
5. If you do that, you'll end up with essentially multiple copies of the save, which could all go off in different directions. Like if a household has a baby in one saved game, the baby won't exist in the other saves.
6. I don't play aging off, but it sounds like all you'll need to worry about is the gradual decline of relationships in households you aren't currently playing.
Have fun :) it can be really enjoyable playing a whole city.
