Not if the oil filler cap or owners manual says 5w20w or 5w30w.

It won't hurt any thing i have been doing it for years because my car burns a little and with thicker oil it burns less.

Unless the car is already burning oil use exactly what Honda recommends. Why would you use a weight they do not recommend. That makes no sense at all.

Depends how many miles the Honda has. If its well over 100000 miles then itll probably need that type of oil.

Honda recommend 10w 40. Semi synthetic oil good quality of course. Is a safe bet.

Honda recommends 5W-30 but allows 5W-20. 10W-40 was used a lot in the 1960s but is not right now.

Sure, "u" (LOL) "can", but it would cause engine damage. Why on Earth would you deliberately use the wrong oil?
