Yes you should put that extension aside as it won’t fit through the square taper of the crank arm

Yes, once you take it out you can see that the extractor wouldn’t get past the crank.
Source: I recently did this, wondered why the crank wasn’t moving until my lizard brain worked out that the only thing I want going to achieve would be stripping the threads from the crank with that in there

Yes, should have a smaller “nub” on the other side you swap for.

If it doesn’t fit in that hole, then yes. Different cranks have different sizes and it may or may not need to come off.

Yep. As it is, it’s for octalink cranks, which have a round hole, and since the axle is hollow they need to push against the edges of the axle. On a square interface that won’t fit, and you run the risk of damaging (but minor damage) to the sides of the square interface.

I keep a magnet with this tool so I don’t lose that part, again…🙄😂

That nub is for isis cranks that have a larger spindle. You have a square tapered crank.
