3. I'd sure notice it - I've been in a 6.8 and it's not one of the
ones you can sleep through.

Someone posted a few minutes ago that there was a tsunami warning issued, too. Don't know if that's still in effect or not. :(

7. Probably not...
Japan is in a very active fault zone. Many areas are just as prone to devastating earthquakes, but the geography and topography for Japan, as well as the dense population centers, make it particularly susceptible to natural disasters.
