1. I drove half way - to Guerrero Negro this past February

Good road, (pavement mostly in good shape, typical non-USAian lack of shoulders) 2 military checkpoints (we crossed at Mexicali going and Tecate coming back) plus the "state" crossing (Baja Norte y Sur - one was fine, the second had a bit of a dick running the show, but nothing alarming.

I wouldn't want to drive a big rig or pull a trailer but it was fine in a regular car. I say this as someone who has a fair bit of Northern Mexico driving experience, including to Batopilas at the bottom of the Copper Canyon system.

Be glad to expand if I can help. Be sure to make reservations and stay a day or two at Catavina if you've never been. Expensive but worth it for the local. (great beds too)
