1. Remember, the series tries to get the message across that mindless-turned Titans have to eat the shifter. I don't think that Armin would appear in the nape because mindless Titans possibly don't have a hollow nape. Nerves in the nape of the Titan shifter which could explain Titan shifters' intelligence.

2. I think there are two types of mindless Titans - Ragako village got turned into Titans by unknown means and probably not the Titan serum, however we know for a fact that mindless-turned Titans like the Eldian Restorationists (like Grisha) were able to become shifters as they were injected by the Titan serum.

3. I don't think it would affect them, but that's up for assumption as far as we know.

4. I think Eren's case was a special case because Grisha was a member of his family. Perhaps some of Grisha's genetics including his Titan form got transferred as Eren turned into a Titan shifter.

7. It differs in some cases, but if the shifter is left unconscious or the Titan is unresponsive then usually soldiers would be ready to cut the shifter out of the nape.

8. Maybe it's similar to how wood is created from nothing but the seed's germination and the soil when a plant starts to grow, but obviously much quicker.
