Yes, unsprung weight for the suspension [anything that isn't supported by the springs].
It is also more rotational mass for the engine to turn.

Yes, remove the throttle body, remove the valve and clean it out.
Spray PB Blaster or Deep Creep in it and let it sit for a few hours.

It could be that or a whole bunch of other possibilities.

If the fan runs with the fan switch disconnected but won't run with it connected the switch is bad.
Did you run it long enough for the temp gauge to get a good bit past the middle?

Most likely either the ISC valve is bad/gunked up or you have a small vacuum leak [for those of you with the 5S/7A].

Your first problem sounds like hot spots on the clutch.
They don't grab the same way the rest of the material does, so the clutch "chatters".
