Yeah I would interested to see this as well. Although I suspect the values might vary depending on how good the GPS tracking is. Not sure if the bot encounters similar issues as you get on the phone GPS.
Pretty much this.
If you are jumping around in an unreasonable amount of time. I.e. Norway to Australia in 10mins I think you'd be making yourself an easy target to get banned at some point.
It is a risk you take to jump between locations. I mean sudden jumps from location to another location would make it an easy target for your account to get banned.
Personally, if I am switching locations I tend to wait a reasonable amount of travel time before I activate the bot in another...
No idea on any definite spawn locations for dratinis.
I do know that I have caught at least 10 or so around this area (see pic below) over the last week.

Frankly, I don't trust free bots at all. Call me paranoid but I don't believe people do that stuff for free, so if I am not paying for it what are they getting?
And in case you have your head in the sand, The Buddy team have been under siege several times lately from different legal actions...
That's exactly what I mean about doing something dumb. What many did there was obvious cheating, hence the ban.
If you aren't hoping around the globe or travelling faster that a human physically can then I don't see many getting banned for just using the bot to travel around your own...
I honestly don't see them getting too heavy on the bans personally. It's not competitive outside of gyms and personal epeen - none of which is permanent. It's free to make as many new accounts as you want. GPS is not known to be 100% accurate. People have been doing heaps of different methods...
