Converting back and forth between color spaces isn't a good idea. You'll degrade things a bit every time you convert. Perhaps an oversimplification, but true.
It is true but it's only a small quantisation error. Converting multiple times will definitely add up. However I do recommend converting in 16-bits-per-channel mode because representing any image in 8-bit is pushing your luck even before you start processing.
Unfortunately Photoshop CS gobbles up memory bigtime when working in 16-bit mode :(
