Does it matter if I don't stop mysql before making a mysqldump? Can it damage the database not stopping it?

As far as I know you don't need to. Maybe in extreme circumstances (huge db with lots of transactions) it's an issue. If it was necessary I think it'd be mentioned here: [dev.mysql.com...] ;)
