1. In my own house, it's a mental thing. I'm not properly dressed/ready to face the world if I don't have shoes on. For some reason it just makes it so much harder to get things done if I don't have shoes on. In other people's houses, well, it depends. The default is to leave shoes on (in Australia, as per my experience), because to take them off is kind of a sign of disrespect? Maybe that's a bit extreme, but I always feel rude just to take my shoes off in someone else's house. For me its the same thing as grabbing a drink or something without asking. Of course, if you know the person well, those rules don't apply at all. Generally its just polite to wait for the host to say something.

4. That's not a UK specific thing. Generally books have different publishers in different countries, and since the publishers are in charge of choosing a cover, the cover will tend to change.

4. I had wondered about that. I'm pretty sure the US does this a lot too. I first noticed this years ago when I saw we had changed the Harry Potter covers.
