There are no carbocation shifts in free-radical chemistry.

Thank you.

Either can work. For an example, see here (benzylic bromination of xylene) http://www.orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=CV4P0984

Do you have a specific example?

I think so, yes. Is it necessary to learn the value of the hands in poker?

Reaction with Br will give the hydrogen radical, H• , which is considerably less stable than the bromine radical. And formation of the C-Br bond is much weaker than formation of the C-H bond.

The stability of the stereoisomers? It will be mixture of configurations. Hard to generalize.

The radical pathway requires peroxides. The “ionic” pathway involves carbocations and is covered here: https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2013/02/22/addition-pattern-1-the-carbocation-pathway/

This is incorrect.
