I don't know what is a patent but,
There are alot of Free Html and other editors online that u can use which wont couse you any legal damage but if you need a good one like Dreamweaver. Its better buy a Original one cuz some cracked version have different stuffs fixed and will harm your computer.

Yes that is called "piracy" and is a big offense in the Americas and Europe, i don't recommend you download anything that cost money, just pay for it legit and everything should be good

Yes it is. Copying themes from any site, or any thing else from sites without permission, can result in a DMCA notice.

It is not necessary to own patent for every website. For example, a personal web site not need to own copyright. But if you are going as a company with products or resources, then it is always better to own your legal claim on your product. otherwise, you can't claim your product if others undertake it.
