You're fine for short periods, but don't do it over an extended period.
I had a bucket I used just for Star San, and over the course of about 9 months the bottom of the bucket developed a slow leak.

Yes you will be fine, just make sure to put the lid on to help keep the pH down.

As long as the ph is below 3.5(I think that's what it's supposed to be don't quote me) but you can keep using it for months.

No. It makes foam because it contains a small amount of surfactant. It sanitizes because it's phosphoric acid based. As others said, the pH is the only indicator. A graduated food grade bucket is like $5 at Home Depot, the bucket isn't something worth worrying about.
