1) It depends on how frequently you intend to "refresh" the data, if you update the data once per hour use RDF, if you need it more frequently then use fudapi.

2) Yes, you can use any of the PHP's xml extensions to parse RDF/RSS feed offered by FUDforum.

3,4) No, FUDAPI simply returns the requested data in array form.
