    There is nothing wrong with using keywords in your h1 tag.

    No, that works fine. In fact you should also be using other "H" tags besides one. each give a slighty lower level of importance.

    BUT, use them properly, too many H1 tags on a page is obviously spam. Typically 1 or 2, then move to H2 ect. Follow the way a well written article works and you will be fine.

    You can also assign styles to the H tags so that they fit in like normal text, by using margin 0; That way you can use it in the middle of text like you would bold or other formatting tags.

    If you are using your <h1> as a heading in you page, then there is no problem.

    no but probably better to style your h1 from your main css file.

    <style>
    h1 {font-size:16px;}
    </style>

    If you have a large site this could be a potential problem for you users. Which browser are you having problems with?

    I'm not sure this is true. The search engines try to figure importance the way a reader would. So if you look at a professional writen print article you can get the idea of the importance of the tags.

    H1 is a heading for the page and therefore gives the impression that these words are a short summary of or represent the entire page or at least until the next H1

    H2 would be a subheading with in the main and therefore of slightly lower importance the an H1. However it's importance may reach several paragraphs untill the next H tag and so on.

    a bold or strong more or less says this word is more important than other words in this paragraph, there fore it is a weaker tag than the H tags.

    Only for a little while. Their cashe will eventually refresh itself. Browsers are normally set by default to check when a page was last changed and update if the version in the cashe is different. I've never seen it hold more than a day before figuring out there was a change.
