Just turn the heat off if you can, otherwise don't concentrate on one area too long.

if it has a setting that will blow without creating heat, then i think it would be 100% safe. if it has a lower heat setting, it might work but you must be very careful to not overheat things that normally do not get hot. if it just has the normal hot setting, be very very very careful about heating things up.
all in all, it doesnt produce much air pressure, so i dunno if it would work very well, even disregaurding safety, unless you have a crazy powerful hairdryer.

i guess if it has a high enough speed yes
i wouldn't do it while the pc was on or on a hot setting.
and if it has the lil attachments that come with it that turn it into a smaller opening that might help

Is that if the vacuum touches it? Or even if it gets close could it still make static?

You can usually just wipe those. Probably better unless you're outside, so the dust doesn't get recycled.
