I've seen this grease inside GM sensor connectors, but I've seen other
brands that were assembled either dry or with a coating that was not
obviously present or greasy. The film of dielectric grease will be
pierced by the metal contacts. This is also why it's OK to coat
battery terminals and cable ends with grease (dielectric or disk brake)
before attaching them together.

Sure, put a little dab on the contacts of the brake and turn signal lamps
when you replace the bulbs. Keeps them from corroding.

Sure. It's not changing the connection in any way.
