Unfortunately, a good understanding of quantum mechanics requires a basic understanding of classical physics.

I would recommend "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukov. https://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Wu-Li-Masters-Overview/dp/0060959681/ref=sr_1_1 "6 Easy Pieces" by Richard P. Feineman https://www.amazon.com/Six-Easy-Pieces-Essentials-Explained/dp/0465025277/ref=sr_1_1? My personal favorite is "Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Physics-Volumes-Magnetism-Electricity/dp/B000RG7YPG/ref=sr_1_2? HTH

Not metal or conductive ones. It doesn't matter if they're rounded, for substantial purposes; what matters are standing waves damaging the microwave parts at the other end.

"Free" electrons on the surface of the metal completely follow any incoming electric field (within a = F/m) (see Quora), so the energy is still there and will begin to be absorbed by something. Putting a dielectric--an absorbing material in this case--over the metal surface will slow the phase of the outgoing wave and also absorb energy, preventing the formation of these bathtub-like standing waves. This is what we learned and were taught in electrodynamics.

Arcing is a little bit separate and happens because charges like to get away from the each other. A small radius of curvature (aka sharp) means locally fewer free electrons will be gathered (since the positive charges in the nucleus don't move, generally), and thus a a net-positive "landing spot" is created.

You can cause an arc in two seconds, I know I have done it with a spoon handle that I forgot, sticking out. However, I believe the damage from arcing would be different and two-fold: (1) locally on spot where it begins and ends, by pitting (e.g. on the spoon and roof), and (2) RF energy damage to sensitive electronics reachable by the waves and not protected by an RF/conductive shield.
