Answer 1

I think the only way is to execute your select and dynamically combine your WHERE clause.

Answer 2

you have to use execSQL instead rawQuery because rawQuiery is used for the statement that returns data and execSQL is used for the statement that doesn't return data like DELETE

Answer 3

You shouldn't use a .rawQuery, as you stated, but you can use .execSQL() to accomplish it. I regularly use it for deletions myself.
