Fly parallel. That's why it called "parallel".
If you try to intercept the course, then that just makes your turn to intercept that much more difficult. When flown properly, your turn to intercept will first cross the course, then reintercept it from the other side.

Absolutely.

No, you wouldn't, but you've got several miles of protected airspace. I seem to recall at least 3.5 miles, but I'd have to check my sources. You'd have to be holding in the jet stream to encounter a crosswind like that.
