Yes, learn all the underlying physical laws and the chemistry stuff will follow logically

For schoolwork no. But historically, chemistry discoveries were done by highly-original thinkers.

I did it. When I was at school, I didn't learn anything, I just memorised the basics myself, not learning by heart or smth, in high school there was preparation for exams - I didn't prepare. On the last day before the EГЭ (Russian past exam) I reviewed the courses on YouTube overnight, passed 76/100 points with stupid mistakes, bc I was too exited. It is necessary to take into account that I am in Russia, of course, it all depends on your teacher and basic knowledge. The tests are of the same type, it is easy to calculate the answer only on the basics.
Btw I am now finishing the 4th year of a bachelor's degree in chemical technology, I haven't taught a single discipline for a day, but I still understand the subject more than many students.
As a result, everything depends more on your interest in discipline and even more on your mindset.

yes but it's absolutely infeasible
if you want to actually learn chemistry i suggest chemistry the central science it's got five authors whose names i forgot but it's like the bible for high school chemistry

You can use shortcuts if you understand what you're doing or seeing, but I don't think you can completely ignore memorization. But it can be fun and very rewarding.

No.
Some memorization will be required. If you rely exclusively on memorization, however, you won't learn much chemistry

Knowing how to play music is a different process than learning music theory. I believe in you anon. You can do it.
