No you'll be fine, you can use sites like pixabay etc. Just use common sense like avoid photos that have kids holding cats for example

That will be ok but make sure the images should not have watermark and you are free to use the images on instagram.

If you are sraping from other accounts, just mention the owner in caption. Otherwise you are fine. Be sure to use quality photos

Just add credits to the owner in the description or on the image. Are you using the images for commercial purpose?

It is fine as long as there are no watermarks and the pics are not private. Just make it look relevant as if you're just sharing. Keep an eye on the source while downloading to avoid too many pics from same source.
