The matter had been put before the RT/DCI, yes.
They decided that it wasn't necessary to ban it.

No. You trade from hand to hand.

You can trade for nothing, yes.

Trading a Stake will allow the stake to be given to a new minion.
The vampire in torpor will still be paralyzed, however. Paralyzation
doesn't depend on the presence of the Stake.

Non-equipment, non-retainer minion cards (like Ablative skin) can
be traded, but will remain on the original minion. Control of the
card changes. Mostly this results in: "no effect" (until the
controller is ousted, of course). (*)
