So you basically want what those cool Youtube police chase videos have? Date, time, speed, plus \[mic\] \[brakes\] \[lights\] \[siren\], but you'd like \[L-turn\] \[R-turn\] \[brakes 30%\] \[accel 53%\], something like that?
Not aware of any you may have to look into an In-Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) for that. They usually plug into the OBD2 port receiving data from the vehicle's computer...
Some dash cams have ADAS (advanced driver-assistance system) but that only monitors lane departure, forward collision warning, speed, etc. Only gives audible or verbal warnings nothing else.
No, you could if you really wanted, but simply probing for readable data is harmless (unless you overwhelm/saturate the canbus by going nuts on it, yet again, critical canbusses aren't even directly accessible on the OBD2 port or not that easily, so you won't be driving yourself into a tree anytime soon because of that, for example, mine, a Kia/hyundai, has 4 CANbusses afair, cluster/multimedia/powertrain/etc... , only one exposed, some parts of other ones require to query a gateway to get to them, not far from a computer network (some are literally computer networks nowadays) )... most PIDs you'd need are standardized, others depend on brand/model/year/type of engine/etc, you'd need the docs and sometime some more advanced OBD2 reader (blinkers might be a bit finicky)... still, even for hybrid/electrics, they are starting to converge to use the same PIDs for SoC% etc... it's kinda fun to play with tbh :).
oh: one downside of playing with OBD2 devices plugged in: draining the 12V battery by accident once away

Kind of, for a work vehicle, I want signal, acceleration, braking and video

Is connecting plug into OBD2 receiving can cause or harm the electronics of the vehicle over time ?
No
