There's a reason why the frequency is exactly 50hz or 60hz, and it's not "at least 50hz or 60hz". You can't just have 55hz on the grid, you'll destroy half a country.
That's why I say low frequency is problem, but high is not as much.
It's not just about frequency - though that is important for devices that synchronize using the grid. When your frequency is going up because of too much power so will voltage. Think about that for a minute.
Not necessarily(see field windings), but higher voltage is indeed a problem
Not everything on the grid is a motor. Even if it was you would still need to rebuild the motor to change field windings.
I don't think you said why?
some clocks are bound to grid frequency. It's the easiest most accessible way to clock time semi accurately.
