You should look into what kind of action you would like to perform. I haven't read any books, but I'm on a long road into the world of hacking. What I suggest you to do as a beginner is to learn about RATing, such as Dark Comet RAT, and move onto learning hacking languages, JAVA, HTML, C#, C++ and so on. You can find guides and answers on almost all your hacking needs here on Hack Forums, no need to buy a book for it. 😁

Yes it is but you can see it as a greyhat action.
However the police won't think about that this way...

These are a couple of my favorites for learning from scratch. These are generally good for beginners although pretty dry like most hacking books. I have some suggestions for more advanced books as well if you want those. As a disclaimer though: you could read these 1000 times and learn nothing if you don't have a grasp on coding.

You'll need a password list to be downloaded with said "worm", and if they have a slow connection, it's going to be a little bit of a problem.

Also, if the neighboring WIFI connections have changed their default router password, it's going to take a long time. You might want to look into GPU based cracking of WPA/WPA2 passwords. Search: Pyrit.

How are you going to search for these images/videos/etc? By keyword or are you actually going to have remote access to the computer and search yourself?

This is a bad idea, you should leave it to the law enforcement agencies if you ask me.

As for overheating; you will need to change the bios settings if I am correct by changing the fan speed, voltage settings, etc. Otherwise the system will just shut down if it gets too hot and then it will be fine after a few minutes/hours.
