I can't answer the specific questions because I've never dealt with an ins. company for an accident. However, get it on a lift and inspected throughly to make sure there's no suspension damage. Check the motor mounts too (I forgot what type of accident this was, but the mounts probably won't stand up to much of a collision).

I'd probably drive the car, but it's up to you. I once drove to a repair shop about 5 miles away, and the car had a severely bent right front suspension, and the extreme toe-out kept speeds below 35mph. If the throttle wheel/cable is sticking on your car, I'd probably drive slower than normal and leave plenty of space between the cars ahead just in case. If by some chance you have to shut off the engine while driving, remember to turn the key back to #2 spot so the steering wheel doesn't lock.
