nope, should be fine. just make sure you put the wheels back on the same place they came from, or you have to change the sensor locations in the TPMS

no and no you dont have to reprogram after a rotation that would be just dumb the only time to have to do a relearn is when you break one and have to replace it. On 90% of cars with TPMS rotations are fine

pretty sure you have to reprogram after a rotation. 99%sure
they will still work just have the tire pressure stated for the wrong tire.
