No, I never did this, but I usually wear boots when it rains, my leather shoes would be totally ruined.

I put my shoes over my vent to get dry. Or I put them in the dryer on low.

no never use electric fan or iron to dry things because i have other pair so it's ok if it takes time, for clothes we mostly use a washing machine dryer.

Yes, when I have to wear it the next day and there’s no other way to dry them up

Yes that’s the usual way to hasten the drying of shoes. Some put their wet shoes at the back of refrigerator because it’s hotter there and drying them there is much more faster too.

Not overnight but in the moment of like if I spilled something & go to the restroom to wash it off and I'd use the blower to try to dry my shirt but it is still wet.

I have put sneakers in the clothes dryer before, but any other kind of shoe gets air dried.I also use the dryer to dry clothes, unless it's a bathing suit and I've been swimming, then I hang dry it.
