Saying "Ya Muhammad, Ya Mansoor, Ummatak Ummatak"

Q: Is it permissible to recite the following as a Wazifa directly calling on Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam without believing him to be hazir nazir: 'Ya  Muhammad, Ya Mansoor ,   Ummatak Ummatak '  in order to gain the  Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's spiritual  attention and tawajjuh. Is there any precedent amongst our akabireen of having done the same or similar and  what of someone who has done the above but not believing Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam to be hazir nazir?

Baseless beliefs

Q: I am getting married in 2 months from now and I am told by my sister that the bride after rukhsati should be accompanied by an old lady from her side. This old lady will accompany the bride to the toilets as this prevents evil spirits attacking the bride. Could you please let me know if this is advisable in the light of Sunnah and Hadith?

Respecting a pious person

Q:

1. We have a Shaikh in our area who, when he enters or leaves the Masjid, the Mureeds stand up for him presumably out of respect. Those that are not mureeds feel uncomfortable because they feel obliged to also stand up when Hadhrat walks in. Is this standing up when Hadhrat comes in and, in particular, when he leaves, substantiated in Shariah?

2. A mureed of this Shaykh mentioned that Hadhrat knows what we are talking about because he is divinely informed. Is this a valid statement?

3. A lay person accidentally sat in Hadhrat's chair. He was told to get off it by a mureed because it is Hadhrat's chair. Was it correct of the mureed to
do this?
