Answer 2

I wouldn't worry too much about slang. If you actually plan to speak to people you should be more aware of how Spanish is spoken there.

Wikipedia actually has a good break down of this under "Phonology" >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Spanish

Good luck!!

Answer 4

OJO!

That's Mexican, they will probably have no idea what you're talking about in the Caribbean, or worse, because guey could be considered an insult.
