1. No it shouldnt, though it will take a hot day for the whole roof to dry out and for the tar patch on each shingle to get tacky enough to seal/ stick to the next one
2. No. The whole idea of the shingles is to keep the rain out. The non-shingled area has to be protected though. Many a roofer has done at least some portion of the job in the rain.
3. No, but you should try to reroof on a sunny day. And cover any portions of your roof you have exposed with a tarp when you quit for the day. An exposed roof structure can suffer bad water damage if a downpour comes. mike
4. the moisture will eventually migrate out, so no it doesn't
