Answer
1. He may follow the Imam in Jumu'ah, and perform Zuhr after Jumu'ah. Alternatively, he may select as the basis of his practice the views of Fuqaha of the madhhab such as al-Muzani and as-Suyuti, in whose opinion the required number for Jumu'ah is 3, and not 40. In this case the performance of Zuhr will not be necessary.
2. When following a Hanafi imam in Fajr salah, thereare two possibilities: Either the imam makes qunut (for the sake of a nazilah) or he does not. In both cases the Shafi'i muqtadi is required to make Sajdat as-Sahw according to the carried view of the maddhab. Some fuqaha of the madhhab, like al-Qaffal al-Marwazi, and later Jamal ad-Din al-Isnawi and as-Suyuti, hold the view that Sajdat as-Sahw does not have to be made. It is permissible to assume their view as the basis of one's practice.
3. The fact that he is called upon to make the iqamah in a Hanafi masjid does not oblige him to say the words of the iqamah twice. He can still say them once in accordance with his madhhab.
4. Being in a Hanafi congregation has in itself no bearing upon the manner in which the aameen is to be said. However, if a person fears that by acting according to the teachings of his madhhab he will draw unwanted attention to himself on account of the ignorance of the society or some of its members, he will be well within his rights to say the aameen softly.
5. Yes it is permissible to follow the Shafi'i madhhab in general, and the Hanafi madhhab in a specific field such as business and contracts.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
