2) Must the table saw machine be fixed to legs or fixed down to a
workbench (which I don't have) or can it be operated safely from the
floor/ground?

my router table is fixed to a piece of mdf and a batten screwed to the
underneath. I sit it on my cheapo but solid Wickes workmate and clamp
the batten in the jaws. This arrangement may be too high up for many but
I am fairly tall and like it.

I have seen contractors saws sitting on the ground by they are usually
attached to a piece of ply or some such. The main limitation with this
is comfort and ease of use. It is also hard to move quickly and easily
when crouching or kneeling down.
