    Basically anything bought outside our current customs zone (effectively still EU) will be liable to VAT at current rate (20%), and there may be duty too (depends on product). Whoever delivers the parcel will likely take another chunk as their processing fee. The rates from memory were typically £8.50 for Royal Mail, or £13-ish for Parcelforce, but this is quite likely out of date as I've not imported anything in a long time. The likes of UPS/FedEx etc. will be on the upper end of that. 
     
    Couriers will always charge. RM/PF don't 100% charge, but expect them to do so, and count yourself lucky if they don't for any reason.
     
    Generally speaking if you apply VAT to US pricing, it doesn't work out that different from UK pricing anyway. IMO not worth the pain and risk. The only times I'd do it is if the item was not available locally so you don't have a choice.

    Not from UK, but looking up how the import taxes work it looks like it's not worth it and probably why they are much lower price here.

    Bear in mind that customs can be hit and miss. I ordered a metal bucket from the US once by accident and customs destroyed it because it was "suspicious". You probably won't be entitled to a refund either as you have nothing to return.
    It will probably be fine but you might get unlucky and lose a few hundred quid. It's better to just buy a used one off of ebay.

    I don't think you can solve this the way you want to. You can set Teams to prefer a specific device, but you can't have a device pair with two hosts unless the device explicitly has that feature. The best option for Teams is to just use a wired USB headset, and the second best option is a headset that has two switches in a base station (eg wired and wireless, or wired and bluetooth) The office I do work at has a bunch of DECT based Polycom Savi devices and they have three inputs one for a phone handset, one for USB to the PC and one for bluetooth (intended for mobiles.) 
     
    Otherwise you're going to need to find a "base station" that you can pair the Sony headset to and have two non-BT outputs (eg TRRS jacks, but those are only standard to laptops, or a pair of TRS jacks for mic and headset)
