1. I doubt very much you could scratch the glass with a razor blade -
but be careful about any defroster lines on the glass, those scratch
fairly easily.

2. years ago a recommended way to remove the formerly popular stickers
on rocker panels was to apply heat to soften the glue, working backward
a section at a time. As another poster commented, use a razor blade to
get the process started. You may end up with some adhesive on the
window, which you can remove with solvent after the sticker's gone.
