A better idea is to place a current-limiting resistor
in
series with the alligator clip to ground
Not really. You'd need to use an HV resistor, it's unlikely
that anything else will survive discharging a tube without
being damaged. Not much good when you go to use it a second
time.
Not using the resistor will still discharge the tube,
but
it runs the risk of damaging it.
Not really, any tube can stand very many such discharges
without harm.
