Yes, you can switch midstream, Yes, you can also switch back and forth as much as your little heart desires. And, NO, it will not have any effect on older pictures on your card. Isn't digital great.

No problem doing so whatsoever. I do it all the time. Just remember you've done it. Raw photos consume large amounts of space, your sd card will fill up fast.

Short answer...no. Why would you even want to? You do realize there is already a basic JPEG embedded in the Raw file (preview) and can be extracted via software such as with http://michaeltapesdesign.com/instant-jpeg-from-raw.html

Why would you do that?
Every RAW image has the jpg image embedded in it already.

For quick downloading at events where I need to make fast prints on-site, I shoot raw + jpeg and use one card for jpeg, the other for raw. I can download and work with the raw files later when there is more time.

The answer is no effect on previous files. You still have to remember that even if you are adding on only a JPEG and not a RAW file, it will chew up more memory. In other words, make sure you have enough and big enough memory chips.

A RAW file can be turned into a JPEG, TIFF, PDF, etc. with the right software. Some of us generate a JPEG file at the same time we generate the RAW file. It will take up more memory space because one is generating two files instead of one file. If you try to do all exposure and composition in the camera at the time of the shot, you may not need any real processing except for cropping. Of course, if things don't go as planned, you will still have a RAW file to work from no matter how bad the JPEG turns out.

A word of caution on that! Yes there is "an embedded JPEG" in the RAW file, but it is not necessarily the same JPEG that would also be saved if shooting RAW+JPEG. One immediate difference is that it lacks all Exif data. But it may have different parameters set for size and quality too.
If you want a camera generated JPEG that uses the options you set in the camera configuration do not depend on extracting it from a RAW file. The embedded JPEG is meant to be a preview image and nothing more.
