I was working in wordpress and now I have to work in opencart theme customization. In wordpress, creating child theme is safer to override .
Here in opencart, is it necessary to create a custom theme to override the default theme?
I'm customizing default theme only, not creating a custom theme. Any advantage or disadvantage to this?
You should not customize the default theme. You should copy the default theme to a new theme, and customize that. If a page is not found in the custom theme, opencart uses the page of default theme. So best practice is that you should not change the default theme. Instead make a copy of it and use that.

You should create "Theme Option Page" instead of creating plugin for Theme setting like colors and other style in wordpress ! For reference :

If you are using a paid theme then there is option in admin "Custom CSS" and otherwise you will plase your customized css in style.css of your current active theme.

I have created my own theme in WordPress. In that theme i'm using other plugins ( jQuery Photo slider ). Now I want to use this theme for a different website. Can i save plugins with the theme? First off, is this even possible?
This is my first attempt in WordPress.
You are not allowed to add plugins along with your theme, but you can always send a readme along with the theme, telling the user what plugins you want them to use, or you could just zip the plugins located in the plugin folder and make that as a custom extra choice to apply when using your theme.
