I say the warpath designs a special task force to figure out all the questions of science. It will be a piece of cake considering the progress we have made on question 3.

you can't see past when the big band happened. no light traveled. right now we're only seeing light from stars so far away that its just reaching us now. its a distance thing only. those stars have been there for 13billion years, but we just couldn't see them yet cause their light had not hit us yet. If nothing existed before the bang, there'd be no light to travel or stars to emit it in the first place.
travelling faster than light doesn't move you back in time, time just moves more slowly for you than it does for the outside world.
before worrying about such things we'd need to become more radiation proof as a species or learn better shielding techniques though. astronauts tend to die younger and have a bad habit of getting cataracts among other things from their brief time in space.
