1) Most schools say they don’t. However, a 1 might indicate grade inflation or a lack of effort to some top universities.
2) You report all the AP exam grades you received (you can cancel your 1, though). Sometimes there aren’t enough slots (if you take more than 9 exams). In that case, you could probably omit the Chem score
3) The transcript will show you took the class.
4) You can put anything you want really, but I’d focus on an official EC (which admittedly is difficult to define). But self-taught piano seems somewhat commonplace. You can submit an arts supplement with your piano playing though.
5) Nowhere on the common app (it asks for hours per weeks or weeks per year), but some schools may require that in their supplements. I’m not absolutely certain on this point.
