Machiavellian

Now that my group is considering allowing me back in (albeit with some caution) and I have recently fell in love with Changelings. However, having done only minor research, I have some questions:
1. I know that the Quick Change feat reduces the minor change shape down to a move action. However, can this time be reduced further?
2. Is it fair (through a DM's standpoint) to allow Chameleon PrC (RoDe) to be available to Changelings, since it's available to their "parent races?"
3. Is the feat Master Linguist worth it, since my character would rarely, if ever, take his "true appearance?"
4. Can minor shapechange imitate the appearance of NPCs, such as a Dwarf Noble or a Tavern Owner in order to achieve a desired effect, such as for "snooping for evidence" or getting the party into a Necromancer's Keep without having to fight their way to the top?
5. For more of Fluff than crunch, would the Jack of All Trades feat be worthwhile? Plan to do a Changeling Factotum 5/Chameleon 10/Cabinet Trickster 5
6. Persona Immersion and Racial Emulation seem to be better than I bet they are. Is this true?
7. Anyone have any tips for roleplaying/gameplay for such a build?
