Are you only going to Sabah or the mainland too?

1) Yes, it's very safe. Malaysia is a nice country and they aren't very anti-American. They spend most of their time bitching about the British, so we get ignored.

2) Lots to do. You can find the best camping on the planet, see tigers, beautiful jungles, etc. If you like city life, KL is the place to go. If you like beach stuff, hit up Penang island.

3) You want to be careful about the weed and not get caught. They don't usually do much with weed, but they might arrest you and make you pay a stiff fine. The safest place to get it is the beach (ask the guy who rents the jet skis). Definitely don't try to get hard drugs, as that will get you [censored].

4) Malaysia is nice country and you should enjoy your visit. It's clean and the hospitals are decent if you need them. The water is clean and you can drink from the faucet in many places. KL is a world-class city. The people are very nice and friendly. You MIGHT get some hassle about the 4 Chinese girls, because Malaysia is not friendly towards Chinese (long-time racial issues). But i doubt anyone will say anything to your face.

5) Malaysia is a muslim country, but not fanatical like arab countries. More than Indonesia, but less than anything you need to worry about. You're a tourist. They'll respect that. You don't want to shake hands with your left hand, or offer anything to anyone with your left hand. Take everything you're offered and be gracious about it. Don't put your feet on the coffee table or cross your legs like a man (showing sole) You'll do fine. Have fun!
