Scangauge will monitor while the engine is off if you set the fuel type to Hybrid.

Putting it in neutral is usually a good thing - the engine is turning at idle rpm, below 1000, instead of much higher and burning extra gas just to keep itself turning over.

I don't know how your CVT likes EOC. Check the manual's instructions about towing.

It's not dangerous if you're not foolish. Obviously, try it out in a quiet place first. Hybrids like yours have electric power brakes and steering, so those work just as well with the engine off.
