That is the purpose of the commandments—to convince man of sin because they cannot be kept in their entirety. God says the breaking of one makes man guilty of the breaking all of them.
The answer to your second question is a grey area since the scriptures do not enlighten us on this point. Jesus did say not to forbid them but welcomed them into his arms. I think we can take it that no one ignorant of the facts would be pronounced guilty but i do suspect that a simple test will be done to ensure that they are fit to be in god's presence but that is just me rabbiting on.
The answer to question 3 is that god does have other ways of communicating with us other than just reading but he does expect those of us who are able to read his word to act on it. Passive reading is next door to being useless. I cannot say more than that as one has to be saved to be able to understand it.
The answer to your next question (which by the way is difficult to follow) is that in question 2, i explained god's special relationship with children. Therefore those who abuse them can expect no mercy (contrary to popular thinking today).
And the answer to your last question; pray about it.
