"...the bottom edge of the seal carrier where it contacts the pan gasket is not typically glued to the pan gasket with gasket sealer or something?"

Not that I've seen. It might be stuck with varnish buildup, but I've never seen it tear the pan gasket.

"The carrier will typically slide off the pan gasket without any damage if a person is careful?"

It should.

"...if I were to ding up that front section of the pan gasket accidentally, I could probably use some kind of Form-A-Gasket product to repair it..."

Yep. In fact, I routinely use the red RTV to help reseal the gasket. I use a very thin coating -- not even enough to "smush" out and leave the tell-tale bead of silicone.
