A few Swamp Dragon questions

Hey guys, sorry I'm really noob to how followers work in this era, as I've almost exclusively used an ethy mount here.

#1 How likely is it for someone to steal my pet after I die?
#2 How can I prevent that?
#3 I read about a pet ball, can this be used if the swampy is dead?
#4 I read that it needs to be repaired by a 120 skill blacksmith, can I reliably find someone who can do this for cheap?
#5 How long does it take to break the armor, and is there anyway to know what shape it's currently in?

Sorry for all these questions, I just don't want to make some noob mistake and lose almost a mil.

#1 If your in a dungeon, it's not possible. And not very likely as you have to be near a house someone owns that can steal your pet.
#2 Farming locations, don't die, have an alt ready to gate your guy out once your dead and resurrect him so you can get back ASAP.
#3 Yes
#4 Believe there are quite a few vendors that sell legendary blacksmith repair deeds.
#5 Not sure on the first part. Arms Lore on the second part I believe.

#1: Very likely if you're at sea or near a coast. "A special fishing net" can be used to teleport pets - both dead and alive - to the user, on land or at sea. Be mindful of that.
#2: As others have said, pet balls. Also, knowing that a pet can't be netted with high health with you nearby; however, the typical plan is to always kill the tamer first to corral the pets easier.
#3: Pet balls summon your pet to you, dead or alive. A must for any serious pet (a random horse that bonded isn't all that important, for example, and many don't ball their WWs and mares if they're just "throw-aways" on the road to a meta).
