Once the program is installed there is an options tab where you can tell it how much of the CPU to use when running, I think from 10%-100%, so it gives a good range. As for only running the program for certain times, there is a schedule in the options too, never used it myself, but looks simple and strait forward. As for your last question, it probably will, but how much or how bad will be determined by how long and how intense you run it, there are others who might have better answers than me.

Up to 100% CPU--not much RAM or HDD space. All of which are adjustable via settings.

Only if you tell it to. Windows does a fairly good job at not making it obvious. The only times I kill it is in some newer games where, when it runs, audio gets out of sync with video.

It has a tray icon. Two clicks and it's gone until you reboot or manually restart it.

Computers generally last x number of running hours unless it contains defective parts or is abused (overclocked, thrown out windows, kicked, taking a bath, etc.) If your computer is running for long periods anyway, it won't have much of an impact. If your computer rarely runs for long periods, it could. I would not recommend leaving your computer run 24/7 just to run WCG or similar project--it's a waste of electricity.

Yes. It may be benchmarking or downloading new work. If it doesn't eventually start to work, you may need to reset/update the client.
