No, and it could make it worse. Heat should not be applied to anything swollen. Swelling is usually helped by cold, not heat. But if it is your tonsils, you may need to find out if you need to have them removed.
Yes, obviously. Find out why - you could be contagious. Could be a goiter, could be mumps, or worse. My little brother discovered throat cancer when he had his tonsils out. How olds your brother? Can little kids get cancer?

That is hard to answer because you are comparing a disease, influenza (or "flu"), to a symptom, swollen glands. There are many diseases and disorders that can cause swollen glands. Swollen glands are mostly an indication that your immune system is reacting to an infection or inflammation of some kind. Furthermore, the outcome of the flu vs. that of swollen glands can vary quite a bit. Most of the time, flu is just a slightly more uncomfortable inconvenience than is a common cold (both flu and colds can cause swollen glands). On the other hand, approximately 36,000 people in the US die from the flu every year (elderly people are more vulnerable). So, flu can be worse than swollen glands in this scenario. Mumps is one of the diseases that can cause swollen glands, and although it is usually not that serious in children, it is often very dangerous for adults. Mononucleosis causes swollen glands, which is an even more serious disease if untreated. And toward the worst end of the scale, leukemia ("blood cancer") can cause swollen glands as a symptom. And approximately 22,000 deaths in the United States are attributed to only one of several types of leukemia in a year. It almost comes down to a toss of the coin of which is worse and depends on how "worse" is measured.
Treatment for swollen legs due to water retention typically involves lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, staying hydrated, and elevating the legs. Diuretic medications may also be prescribed by a healthcare professional to help reduce excess fluid. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Your puppy needs to see the Vet. Blindly giving antibiotics and antihistamines may be covering important symptoms or even making the problems worse. There is absolutely no excuse for a puppy this young to be suffering like this and in such poor shape.
The poor is the poor because they could tax problems, debt problems, or even worse.
Yes. You need to go to the dentist right away. This problem could get worse.
