You don't need to merge everything back into master or delete branches.
When you 'git push', it only pushes remote tracking branches. (Branches that
you fetched from that repo).
If you do 'git push --all', it will push all your branches to the repo.
If you do 'git push REMOTE-REPO BRANCH', it will push just that branch. You
can, of course, list multiple branches.

Yup.

Yes, but signing it makes others feel more confident, and if you at least
annotate, you can provide some sort of description.

Once again, yup, just do 'git checkout TAG'. Though you may want to do 'git
checkout -b NEW-BRANCH TAG'.

Good luck,
