Yes they are raw when you start, but after salt "bath" they are preserved, and kinda cooking (curing) while they drying. It is safe, no worries, I ate this stuff since my childhood. Trust me, it is way safer than Sushi from Superstore! LOL

No, after it thawed you won't feel any difference if you decide to freeze it. However it must be pretty dry at that moment. But I never done it to make sure meat is safe to eat, it is. You could only screw it up in the mid process, if there is any slime forming, or it doesn't smell good, stinks - do not consume! After it fully cured it can't go bad.
Usually, after curing I put it in fridge, so it won't get to hard. But most of the times it doesn't last long!
