No - it is specifically there to hold the stuffing in when cooking thereby alleviating the need for string and pins. Directions say to cook at less than 500 degrees which is in line as a turkey should cook about 325 degrees.

You must remove all plastic from the turkey before cooking. If not, the plastic will melt in the oven making the turkey inedible.

Not until you carve. That helps keep a nice appearance. Once you remove it when cooked the weight of the legs will cause them to droop and may tear the turkey apart.
