#1 The Brelvi have historically been moderate Muslims, worshipping local saints and doing other things that the Deobandi-Wahabis consider to be Kufr.
But in the past decade or so (at least in Pakistan), the Brevlis have become increasingly intolerant in order to compete with the Deobandis who have been busy taking converts away from them. So although the Brevli groups are not likely to attack Americans or Indians, it is possible that they will begin fighting back against the Deobandis-Wahabis, which could lead to much worse bloodshed than the current Deobandi-Shia conflict.
I read a report in the Friday Times that claimed that leaders of the Lashkar-e-Taiba had given permission for Brehvli girls to be taken as slaves, and that some of the leaders themselves had undertaken this practice, because they don't consider them to be 'real' Muslims, and thus the prohibition on enslaving Muslims can be avoided.

#3 No. That's the Deobandis/Wahabbis.
