Don't stop treatment just to get a medical. You don't want to end up like some pilots with borderline (or worse) clinical depression who can't get help and live with it because they'd lose their job and their house.

If it happened, it happened. Whether you tell the FAA about or not is a different question. If they find out somehow, they will likely prosecute for prison time. If you have a recurrence later, you could end up unemployed after spending a bunch of time and money on training.
Like I said, talk to a consultant.

No, but it's going to be a lot less than the money you could make at a major airline someday.
