Tor without Tor Browser is less anonymous than Tor with Tor Browser. If you don't use Tor Browser, it's easier to fingerprint your browser and crossmatch that with other instances where that fingerprint has been found. With Tor Browser, the goal is to have the same fingerprint as so many other people it becomes a meaningless data point.

Most people who use Tor and are caught, are not caught because of Tor. They are caught because something else leads investigators to them.

Yes, but I suggest you block javascript as there was an attack using javascript that broke the anonymity in a previous tor version.
