Drying it using heat, like heating it on the stove top while wet, will cause flash rust because heat greatly speeds up the oxidation reaction. Just towel dry it

Haven't had any issues, done this process for years.

Can always use a cheap cast iron if it's a concern.

ETA: also not much of an issue if you already have a good seasoning layer on the pan. The water shouldn't have made any real contact with the iron if that's the case.
