you are wrong. idle master emulates running the game. and it is just as safe as if you installed and ran the game yourself, only idle master is vastly less resource intensive.
you can play games and run idle master at the same time, it works as anything does, run 2 games and you get card drops less often, so run 1 game and 1 idle master and you get card drops less often.

My friend was bragging about it the other day, said it was doing him wonders for months already.

I don't see how the session cookies are less safe. You can invalidate them by logging out, at which point they become useless, whereas account names or passwords have the chance of being re-used across multiple websites and are generally harder (and often in the case of account names, impossible) to change. You might be able to do some malicious things with the session cookies without triggering Steam Guard though, I'm not sure. Idle Master has never triggered Steam Guard, but that could be because it's not doing anything sensitive, it's coming from a computer already validated by Steam Guard...or because session cookies bypass Steam Guard protection, which would indeed make them less safe (on Steam, anyway, password re-use is still a common issue).

It's completely open-source so yeah, you can do just that if you have any doubt.

I used it for months (still using it), farmed over 200 cards with it, never had a problem. (although it tends to forget the cookie settings every now and then so you need to re-type it).
Just use common sense and you'll be safe. Same with SAM.

I found you just need to open the settings file and save it again. No need to re-enter anything.

Yes it is. You can even look at the source code if you have any doubt since it's completely open source.

Why would it need login/pw? I'd stop using it at this point. Maybe it's safe right now and the dude who programs it doesn't have bad intentions (right now), but stuff changes (so many pieces of software have been sold in the past without any notice beforehand). Also: People/systems get hacked.
Been using SAM forever to farm my cards. Enhanced Steam lists me the remaining badges/game drops and I just enter the game ID from there (or steamcardexchange) into SAM, hit it up for 30min to a few hours and get them done one by one. Considering that I'm always down to no remaining card drops, I'd say that works pretty well.
