I had an offer to work full time, i have a few questions

Hi there!
I am on support ESA (contributory) and PIP (standard mobility, enhanced daily living).
I have been fortunate to have had offer of full time working, and I know that ESA claim must be stopped when work starts. I will let PIP side know, as they will want to see job matches PIP descriptors, as PIP claim to go on.
Please tell me if:
1. I require a GP note / agreement, to work.
2. If having claimed ESA, will there be problems actually accepting the offer now, or in the future? Will DWP say that I should have been in WRAG group?
3. Will a new assessment be triggered for PIP, on my starting working - due to stopping ESA claim?
4. Does PIP transfer over automatically, as I am working many miles away and will live in the new area? Or do I need to lodge a new claim?
5. If my condition worsens in years to come, and I must cease work, can I claim ESA under same condition?
Sorry about all these questions, and thank you very much for helping me.

Welcome to the community.
Congratulations, I hope it goes well
I feel worried though that having been on support ESA, then accepting FT working from that, might cause problems later, such as an investigation. Seems that having claimed, but in the past, can be looked at too; though I may be wrong. Please help.
