@WBahnThat looks reasonable. It might simplify down some, but it might not. I didn't look at the nitty-gritty details, so it might not be correct. But the approach you are using is fine.
That's actually going further than you need to. Because R3 is part of an open circuit, no current can flow through it. As a consequence, there can't be any voltage across it and therefore V1 = V24.
No, you can't use the fact that for an ideal opamp V+ = V-. You are not working with an ideal opamp!
And the problem says nothing about how big A is. I've designed circuits that have used opamps for which A was less than 10.
Simply replace the opamp with a voltage-controlled voltage source in which the control voltage is the difference between V+ and V- and the output voltage is A times this difference.
For #4, if at t=0, V1 = Vdd, wouldn't that make the voltage across R1 = 0 and then we will only have the capacitor C1 and R2 in series at t = 0?
