No, it should not be omitted. It remains a question.
Whether or not you expect an answer is irrelevant

A question is a question whether it is rhetorical or not. Therefore, a rhetorical question should have a question mark, as all questions do.

Yes, it can be because it is an exclamatory statement. Use an exclamation point in the place of the question mark and it would be fine.

No. It requires a question mark. Rhetorical or not, it’s still a question.

No, it should not be omitted. “Hassel” is actually spelled “Hassle”. Hope this helps.
