Not unless you make yourself a target (go to dangerous areas, carry expensive things, etc). Of course, if you want to see the whole game, you'll kind of need to get out of high-sec space (which isn't completely safe, by the way).
Yes. There are cloaking devices in the game, and some ships can even warp cloaked. Not as fun as actually fighting the battles, but you might become valuable to some people if you get good at intelligence gathering.
You can run EVE on an old toaster. Not even a good toaster, with four slots, variable cook levels, and a chrome finish. I'm talking like a 1970s one you find at a yard sale for three bucks that will make your lights blink each time you turn it on, with a spring that hasn't worked in three decades, and stains that suspiciously look like someone was really desperate to cook some heroin, but didn't have a lighter on hand.
Sure it's possible to tour the galaxy. Just be aware the locals will try to murder you and take all your stuff.
Stealth helps to mitigate an explorer's risk.
Manufacturing is a viable in-game profession. Tip: T1 ships are unprofitable.
-If you're exploring dangerous areas (low security, null sec, wormhole) and don't know how to fight or evade, yes. If you do learn how to fight or evade, your chances of survival go up but you'll still lose some ships.
-Twitch >.>
-dunno'. EVE is an old game so I'd imagine most graphics cards could handle it.
There's a trial if you want to try the game before buying.
The hardcore vs casual is quite a common fight in gaming community. From what I've seen from my brief existence in hardcore territory (in a different game), hardcore players actually play ANY GAME much less than casual players. It's because they take it seriously and they initially devoted tons and tons of time to understand the game (ANY game) and to find out shortcuts, cookie cutter / minmaxing and so on. To use your analogy with the visit of a foreign country, you may wish to
1) visit it completely unprepared and then be shocked when you'd clash with natives due to a different culture, plus you wouldn't know where to go to see the most beautiful places,
2) read A LOT about the country before you visit it, so that you know what to expect - this will give you much more experience and bang for your ISK, but you would be just an (informed) observer
3) read A LOT about the country and then go there with a group of friends (in case of EVE you can easily find friends ingame, it's called a corporation) who know the country, can show you the best places and will shield you from the bad stuff and tourist traps.
It's all about the preparation. You won or lose the fight the moment you clicked on the undock button. Everything that happens afterwards is just a consequence.
No, you will not get killed for playing a computer game. This sounded like a poor excuse for a joke, but it's not a joke. Remember that your goal ingame is not to OMG TOTALLY NEVER LOSE ANY SHIP, your goal is to have fun. You can have fun in a fleet shooting other fleet, you can have fun avoiding a gatecamp in low security space, you can have fun in a skirmish with an enemy frigate (I suggest you Red vs Blue for this), all of that generates a lot of fun and you will , yes you will lose ships - and that generates stories and memories.
The trick is to be aware that there is a danger of losing a ship. That means you should not buy extra super duper expensive modules or massive ships that you'd be barely able to fly. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose - this is a number one rule in EVE.
Yes and no. Not in a way that you would just click on some button and be invincible. EVE is not only about spaceships, it's also about metagame (what a player knows, not what his char knows) and spies. You will see a massive amount of paranoia in EVE for a very good reason. Spectator mode would be too powerful.
However, to visit the battle you can simply head there with the cheapest ship (which you get for free simply by docking in the station where you have no ships) and hope for the best. You may or may not get killed, but who cares, you're in a free ship.
I believe you should be able to play EVE with this, I was able to play EVE on a laptop with an integrated graphics (although it was some time ago).
