Yes you do.
The easy way out is "abuse action economy". There are better uses for it, though, and better options here.
The other easy way out is to let people roll to see if something happens. Never, ever allow stalled play to resort to this. They have to search and talk.
Absolutely. The GMs got tables to help them determine what's going on - you've got one person. Engage with the setting, not a piece of paper.
And yes, DMs, sometimes that means adjusting your plans on the fly to make what they do have fun consequences. That's our job.
