I believe that if a node in the consensus group exceeds ε clock skew, it will be kicked out of the group.
As far as network partitions go, a consensus must exist for reads or writes. If you don't have 3 out of 5 working correctly and talking to each other, then you are down.
That's correct, it's a consistent system and so the majority needs to be involved on mutating writes. Reads typically can read from one designated copy of the replica directly (bypassing Raft).
