More of a threat than the Order of the Blackened Denarius? Those guys are bound to Fallen Angels and are trying to win the War for the Bad Side - I tend to rank them as nastier than someone trying to ascend.
I'd love to hear someone ask a question like this at the next con that Jim attends.

I'm pretty sure it just breaks it IIRC. Binder was going to throw a rock across Harry's circle so his demons could eat Harry and Murphy.

Yup. Intent breaks the circle. Mortal intent, at least. If by empowered ragnrok means a (greater) circle like those that held the Loup Garou or the Archive, then it gets fuzzy.

Correct. Any object that crosses a circle's barrier will break the circle, regardless of whether or not the object smudges the line itself. After all, not all circles are drawn, and Harry often has to make sure that there aren't particles of dust or hair or anything like that lying across the "line" of the metal circle in his basement.

Yes, but every time someone is inside a circle they physically break the circle with their foot before stepping through. Harry even specifically tells Butters to do so in Dead Beat. It seems kind of pointless to do that if there wasn't some reason not to walk straight into a circle.
