Yes, as he's not Unique (I think)

Present means all runners currently in a location. This means that in the
safehouse, only your runners get nailed. If he dies on a Shadowrun, it
would afftect all your runners as well as the challenge (if the challenge
was a creature to fight), and if he dies fighting another players runner(s)
(Whether from Bar Fight, Z-Zone, an Intercept, etc), then all runner in the
fight at the time would get zonked.

Yup yup. And since one adam will kill the other... OUCH!

Yes, use 4, hope they stay alive, then use the z-zone to wipe out an
opponents runners. if you have all four in play, and one goes boom, you'll
manage to deal 20 points of damage! :]

Not a problem.

That'll be 4 Nuyen for services rendered. :]
