Answer 1

No.  A laser pointer will not affect your TV in any way.  If you had a very powerful laser, then you could damage it, but no laser pointer will be powerful enough.  However, laser pointer can do damage to your eye (especially the strong ones, like the 5mW ones).  Since the laser will reflect off of the glass on your TV, back into the room, you could potentially do damage to the eyes of the people in the room.  It would be just like shining the laser in their eyes.
