I can't answer that having never done this job, but I suspect you'd be fine if you got your car as far up as you can and have it properly supported. Be sure to take advantage of the drain plug though to reduce the mess.

I doubt it. The car moving after shifting to park is pretty normal for an automatic and would suggest that you're parking on an incline. If the incline is steep enough, that may also be what's causing the bind when shifting from park. You might try setting your parking brake before shifting to park to see if that minimizes the issue. If your parking brake works and that doesn't minimize the issue, I'd suspect something more like a brake pedal switch issue for the difficulty shifting from park.
