You can leave the computer plugged in whenever necessary or convenient to do so. Leaving it plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery. An advantage of leaving it plugged in is it reduces the rate of accumulation of battery cycles.

No. I recommend not doing that. Place it in safe a location, when you are away for the day. Whenever plugged in, use a surge protector to protect from power serges or power spurs(typically resulting from lighting strikes and transformer blows).
