You can't add ram, as it's likely 'virtual' ram taken from the actual total ram in the laptop. However if you know how to get into the laptops BIOS and know your way around, it may potentially be possible to assign more. However, bdrb mainly uses x264/265 depending on the type of conversion you'll do. That's CPU demanding, not the built-in GPU part.

You should be fine if the cooler is up to the task. As the CPU will be under full load normally. Now, that will create heat, which the cooler will need to be capable of blowing out, do the vents need to be clear from dust (and nothing blocking them).

As to potential damage, in the old days when cpu's got too hot and cooling want to to today's standards they could indeed get damaged. Today, a CPU will shut itself off when it gets too hot to prevent that from happening.
