QUESTION 4:DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEAM TOKEN TO ANOTHER STEAM USER ACCOUNT?
yes it can be done using the active key

Below is the screenshot of how to transfer fund to another account.

How i did that was i First logged into my wallet and clicked on the steam dollar drop down arrow(menu), then i clicked on transfer and then input the username of the account i want to transfer to. Lastly you can create a memo(an encrypted text) from there and submit and also confirm using your active key.
