#3 You know, it's a good thing he didn't try then. Andrew Jackson wasn't exactly a pantywaist when it came to dealing with people trying to kill him. Heck, if you really wanted to try, just challenge him to a duel, he'd of probably accepted. Course, you have to realize, shooting him just pisses him off.

#4 Sounds like a good premise for an alt-history novel. Boothe tries to kill Jackson, Old Hickory kills Boothe's worthless ass instead (you know he would), and John Wilkes is never born.
