Carrier locked is OK; blacklisted, reported lost/stolen is not. Remove it from your Apple account, remove SIM card, reset before sending it in. No case, no accessories, no cable, no charger.

You don't have to reset the phone, but I'd definitely uninstall the Fi app. It's a "nosy" app, and I suspect it "calls home" whenever your phone is online via WiFi or Data. Whichever email address...

During the boot process, but it's just a nag that you can swipe to the right to clear. It won't nag if there's a physical SIM in the phone.
