Someone from the FCC is going to show up pdq. It's really easy to triangulate signals. (This is the reason it sucks to be a radarman in modern warfare. whenever you're transmitting you're basically transmitting a huge "HERE I AM" sign to everyone with an antenna)

You're never going to flood those frequencies except locally. Radio needs 4 times the power to go double the distance. It gets really crazy how much power you'd need not to mention the size of the antennas you'd have to have.
Edit: I guess i missed half your post.
Depends what type of drone and what type of radar but it's plausible. Some radar and radio controllers operate on the same frequencies.
Again, it's possible it just depends on some factors that we don't know.
It depends which band they use for the radar signal. Some bands interfere with local things like wifi others not so much.
Not likely anything permanent. Especially with how little power you'd be able to muster.
No effects on the humans since it's not ionizing radiation. No one would be burned unless they touched the antenna while it was transmitting. That could lead to an RF burn.
More than you're going to be getting from the house mains if you want to go past a few miles.
See my answer above.
You could use capacitors to add additional charge if you're just trying to do a quick burst, but you wouldn't get much if anything out of it by doing that because it would be powered down before you could get a return on it.
