No, if law enforcement officers reasonably believe that a valid warrant has been issued, the officers may begin the search. The warrant does not have to be with them, and the warrant does not have to be given to the owner.

Basically, yes. Generally, there is a "knock and announce" requirement that police identify themselves and state that they have a warrant. This happens very fast.

That warrant allows them to start searching on gaining entry. If it's a home and the home occupant is there, a copy of the warrant should be given to the occupant. However, the police needn't wait until the occupant is finished reading the warrant or until the occupant's attorney, if any, arrives.

In many situations, the premises to be searched is empty of people. The police can go right ahead and search. In all cases, the police are to leave a copy of the search warrant and a copy of the list of items removed from the premises at the searched premises and/or with the occupant, and see that the property, if unoccupied at the time of the search, is secured when they leave. (It's not their job to clean up the mess they make.)

Law enforcement is NOT required to show you and allow you the time to read the warrant prior to their serving it. In some instances it is not even necessary that they have the warrant in their possession. Mere knowledge that the affidavit has been approved and signed off on by a judge is sufficient legal authority to serve it.

No.

If the police officer reasonably believes that a lawful search warrant exists, then the officer may search the home. The officer does not need to have a physical copy of the warrant to begin the search.

When a police officer arrests someone based on an improperly issued warrant the warrant protects the officer from liability?

If the officer reasonably believes the warrant is valid, then the officer is protected from any legal (or civil) consequence. However, the key phrase to that is "the officer reasonably believes".If someone manages to prove that the officer "should have known better", or that the officer lied in order to have the warrant issued, the officer can be held liable, as they knew the warrant was invalid.
