The logic behind your procedure escapes me. Why would you want to spin a malfunctioning engine (or any other device) to its normal maximum? The car believes it doesn't need to spin very fast - until you figure out what the problem is, pay attention to the car.

Yes. Not likely to do immediate damage to an engine in good shape but it takes a few minutes off its lifespan. Bumping the limiter, even when warmed up, is not something to get in the habit of doing unless you can afford to fix things when they break.
