Well if that's how you have to use it, that's how you have to use it. Don't worry about it.

It won't charge past 100%. It will just keep the battery charged at that point. That's why it's important to keep it plugged in, it prevents the battery from being discharged then have to be charged again, shortening its lifespan.

So is that good or bad, sorry i'm not getting the idea.
That is BAD.

You should only ever unplug the laptop when you are taking it on the road, or storing it for weeks.
