Q1:If they'r a real pain in the neck,then yes,but if the man says work but they r tired n can't do the household then beatn them 4 that wud b rather silly.
Q2:Wat makes u think they r?The verse?A man has the share twice that of a woman bcuz that's not just HIS share considerin the fac that he supports the whole family n has 2 giv his share 2 them too.At the end of the day,he mite b left with even less than 1/4 of his share which he can spent purely on himself.On the other hand,a woman wudn't even hav 2 spent a penny on any1 except herself so actually both get the same share.
Q3: Yes,not like punchin them in the face when that person mite not even kno abt Islam,but tellin them wat's rite n wat the Islamic bliefs r.It's their choice if they want 2 follow it or not.Our duty is just 2 tell them that.Fight evil I wud say.
Q4: Yup! N I'll defend that with my life!
