4.  Can the charging pad cause the phone or battery to heat up while charging?

All chargers create some heat as they charge.  Wall chargers, docks, and even portable power banks lose some energy in the form of heat.  Wireless chargers are no different.  Chargers that have been through extensive efficiency testing will minimize the amount of energy wasted through heat, so it’s worth choosing a reputable brand.  Belkin chargers offer additional safety protocols built in to the circuitry – these advanced chipsets will shut down if they detect excessive heat to protect you and your devices.

Yes, it does.

It is safe to use a case with a magnetic backing;  however, the magnet may interfere with the wireless charging depending on the location of the magnet and if it makes the case thicker than 3 mm.

This wireless charging pad has a large circular rubber base to help prevent it from moving around.

9.  Does it have surge protection capabilities?

No, it doesn't.

11.  Is it an intelligent charger (stops charging once device reaches 100 percent)?
