According to what our esteemed jurists say, it could be makruh to initiate a salam to a non-mahram woman, unless there is a valid purpose for it. And if the salam is done with lust, or falling into fitnah, then that of course must be avoided.

As for replying of a salam, if it does not entail lust, then she must reply, if it was specifically directed at her.

And Allah knows best.

There is no "sin" in rejecting a marriage proposal, and there is no "sin" in marrying a non-Sayyid. 

You must marry someone who, along with having the fundamental qualities of being religious and good akhlaq, but also compatible with you as well, and whether he is a Sayyid or not is irrelevant. 

And Allah knows best

This must be done by the decision of a vet or a professional, which means someone qualified should be consulted and should deal with it. Also, whatever is done should be done in a humane way, with a correct procedure and within legal perimeters. 

Otherwise, it could be haram.

And Allah knows best.

No, it is not permissible in this situation. It would be considered haram, murder, and blood-money must be paid as well. 

As a Muslim, you believe in Almighty God and His bestowment of blessings and sustanence. He is the al-Razzaq. One of the means of gaining money and wealth, and one way of increasing money and wealth is having children. 
So, if you have money restraints, having a child will leviate that, if you have the right mind-set, and live the Islamic lifestyle, and not be demanding or over-spending. 

That is why it should not even cross her mind, to terminate a life, and I would encourage her to read more material on this, in shaa Allah. 

And Allah knows best

This is among the first recommendations all our 'Ulama give, when it comes to spiritual advancement and fulfilling of needs. Ziyarat Ashura` has always been encouraged to recite, and simple search can reveal the many stories our esteemed scholars have in this regard. 

Refer to Ayatullah Sayyid Abtahi's book on the remarkable effects of Ziyarat Ashura` (in Farsi/Arabic).

No, it would not be considered shirk, and you can claim these privileges, and still rely on Allah ta'ala. However, you should learn not to rely on others for sustenance, and work and gain an income.

Try to proceed in life with learning independence, work and be content with what you have. 

And Allah knows best

No, it is not a sin at all, and I would rather encourage you to be very careful of  yourself and such requests.

Nobody can force you to have a child, let alone to give it away. That sounds preposterous. 

After you decline, in the case your husband or anyone brings the topic up, or tries to guilt-trap you, inform them very sternly what your view on this is, and if it continues seek consultation. 

With prayers for your success
