Re: Do you mark cases that have been swaged?

Yes. On the firing line, shooting Bullseye Pistol match 45, you need marked brass. Use 2 colors when making an X

Re: Fire Forming Brass No Bullet, No Noise

Maybe? Ask Hornady. "Hornady hydraulic forming dies are produced on a custom basis. You need to supply a reamer print or some “finished” cases that have been fully fire-formed in your chamber."

Re: Low Recoil load for my woman's .38 ultralight

148 gr DEWC with 2.5 gr of Bullseye would be my choice also. Going to very light bullets would not be accurate with the rifling twist. As already said.

Go with this advise. Not a problem unless pressure/gas is escaping from between the primer & case head. You should keep brass separated for each firearm & control the sizing of the brass for each.
