If you mean forced suplex, then i will had to agree.

If you are plaing against more or less experienced player he will try to avoid lifting.

No, you assume wrong.

You are totally wrong. Contracted wrists give a huge advantage, thats why i belive it can't be considered as fairplay at all. I will explain:
Let's say your opponent used wrists while you started with clap, in this case his arms are grabbing inside yours and closer to you, so your wrists in this case are useless. Absolutely. And he controll your elbows. If both of you ended up back to ground and about to try saving by standing on wrists he will win. This is bad isn't it? While if both started with clap noone would have advantage/disadvantage on start.

You want to say that if you have one free arm(I mean which is not grabbed by your opponent) the only thing you should grab to make the game fair is arms and head?

No. you can go for turnover.

Never seen it to trick an opponent. Most things with low grabs i see are ending up as pushing and lifting, while both players are stick together in one piece. Just a mess. Not exciting to watch.

I didn't get what do you mean here. can you explain further?

Leg grab isn't necessary at all.
Here is throw with one free hand and without leg grab.
