First of all, please post in the appropriate forum in the future. I have moved this thread to tech q&a for you. Please don't make me do it again; it makes me grumpy.
Using the FWD fuse will not, as I understand it, harm your car. All you're doing is preventing the transfer clutch from being used at all. Effectively, your car is now FWD. Go figure.
Please try to avoid spinning the front wheels while you are using the FWD fuse.
The binding is likely caused by a bad transfer clutch solenoid. The part isn't terribly expensive, but the labor can be. You might as well replace the transfer clutch while you're at it.
I have no idea whether your gas mileage will improve, but if you're getting a kick out of the 'pulling feel,' I highly doubt you're about to see significant gains.
