Faster than light is a bit of a misnomer as it actually has nothing particularly to do with light.

It's actually "Maximum speed of information". There are things that are FTL, but nothing that carries information is.

Well, that would break causality. I believe if we ever learn how to go FTL (improbable!), it'll still force non-causality breaking. Meaning the place where you FTL'd is not your universe anymore.
