Thank you so much.

The general crime of murder, in the uncountalbe, indefinite sense, yes.
Both are possible. Do you consider it one idea or more than one idea.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
