Should I squeeze pus out of my gum abscess?

Absolutely.

You can. Then, make an appointment with your dentist to find out why you have an infection and how to treat it. Squeezing pus out may make it feel a little better, but that will probably not be the cure!
Yes, you can do that, but more pus will form and refill. You are only draining the problem short term. To eliminate the problem, you will need to see a dentist and resolve what is causing that pus!
Yes, you may. It will help to relieve pressure and pain. Best to contact a dentist or oral surgeon right away.
