Really? Aren't you the one who claimed that the speed of light is measured the same in all frames? Oh yes it is you:

So if you want to make a comparison with "299792.458 km/sec" then you have to make it in a "local inertial frame". You never even defined your frame of reference.
That's bs, c is the same from all frames of reference.
Physics wise keep your mouth shut.
Depends on whether you're considering coordinate time or proper time. Whilst it may be true that the coordinate speed of light can be non-constant for an observer in a non-inertial frame, any observer can always construct a locally inertial frame which Fermi-Walker transports along his world line such that the proper speed is constant.
