Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I'd ask.
Along the questions we all wonder about!

Yes, cause I work in a dusty environment. If you see dust or particulates in your snot, thats in your lungs too and you should start wearing a respirator.
Usually only if I'm sick, so I can see how transparent the snot is.
I do. One day I expect to see a Turner Seascape.
No, but i do rub the folded up tissue around between my fingers to assess and admire the volume of my expulsion
Yes.
Every time.
I almost never blow my nose anymore since I read that doing so tends to blow snot into your sinus cavities, which increases the risk of infection. It's better to just sniff in most cases.
I heard the opposite but again they are not a doctor so who knows

To blow my nose so it doesn't cause an infection
