Metal central heating pipework requires supplementary bonding in the
bathroom. It is may also be earthed through other points, where it contacts
main equipotentially bonded services, such as a non-disconnected filling
loop (to water), or a gas boiler (to gas pipework). There is no harm in
bonding it to the main terminal as well. There is no need to bond every
radiator separately. Indeed, if the pipework is plastic, this will reduce
the safety of the installation.

In some circumstances, yes.

It might be -- your description is a bit on the thin side to
give a definative answer.

If the wire's old enough to be merely green and lacks yellow stripes it
too is probably a bit on the thin side :-)
