Here are my questions and I would greatly appreciate any help:
1. Would I have to pay any extra baggage fee to Jet Airways (different PNR) for Mumbai to Hyderabad? How much could this be? From this link --->
http://www.jetairways.com/EN/IN/Bagg...rAirlines.aspx,
it looked like I don't have to but somehow I wanted to confirm since the other threads are very vague..
What matters is the e-ticket number being the same or not. If there is only one e-ticket number, then delta rules should apply on all your segments. How to find out your Delta e-ticket number? Look for a series of digits in your online ticket starting with 006-
If your Jet airways and Air India tickets also have e-ticket numbers starting from 006, then everything should be valid. if the jet airways ticket has a 589- code then it is a separate ticket.
the concept is that dominant carrier's baggage rules apply.

Same answer as above. if totally separate ticket, you pay. if same ticket, not.

5. I have only 2 hours and 40 minutes time gap between my flights in Mumbai. Do you think this would be sufficient? I apologize in advance if this seems like a silly question but I've never been to the Mumbai airport. What about check-in times etc.? Would I possibly face any problems??
6. I heard that there is at least 30 min travel to the international airport in Mumbai. I heard that there are shuttles that can do it in 10 min but that these could be highly unpredictable... Is this true? I also heard that there are cab/taxi drivers who barge in and snatch your luggage in the hopes of having you ride the taxi... Is this true? How should I safely navigate these challenges to reach the international terminal on time? Suggestions welcome...
if
Speedfreak is correct, then you don't need to transit between the two airport terminals altogether. So can you give your flight no. or confirm the terminal on the ticket (if it says arrival at 1A, then domestic, if it says 2, then international).
