Welcome to FT, scharal!

You will find most of your questions answered by the very comprehensive A US Guide to PHL thread. Please read the first post thoroughly and you will get pretty much everything you need.

Not in the least. You will have to remove the computer from your bag when you put it through the X-ray machine, but that's it.

It is at the lower end of "adequate," but you should be fine.

Yes.

They will give you the next available seat.

Possibly, but this will involve some arguing with US. I would not worry too much about not getting on the next flight to LGA; I just checked today's flights and there are still seats available on 7 flights between 15:55-22:50.
