Pretty sure i read somewhere that if there's a kick after the siren no player can assist in propelling a team mate into the air, can't remember where i read it, could have dreamed it, not sure.
As for the OPs question, i don't know.

I remember that game, why he didn't go a screw kick of some description is beyond me, had no chance with a drop punt.

It could work, but I think it'd be wise to ask Toby nicely before tossing him.

I wouldn't say common. But it was a less professional era.

I heard the Saints were training for this exact thing one off-season 
Need to have one player be a step and another player to be a bit taller step, and then the player can get a run up and propel himself 4 meters in the air.

Might just revive Blairy’s career if Grundy learns to chuck him up high enough to block every set shot

Can you hold a team mate out length wise to lay a tackle on an opponent just out of reach?

Can you use a teammate as a baseball bat and whack an opposition player with him

Someone, a few weeks back, quoted a guideline that states that it’s against the rules, or at least lifting or using another player as a ‘stepladder’ to spoil a goal attempt

Can you roll a teammate along the ground like a bowling ball in order to knock down some lanky players,e.g. during a ruck contest?

That would be contact below the knee.

Can you put a player on your shoulders to man the mark for a shot on goal after the siren?

I’m pretty sure this is accurate:
15.3 FREE KICKS RELATING TO DISPOSAL OF THE TEAMMATE
15.3.1 Correct Disposal
A Player Correctly Disposes of the teammate if the Player Kicks or Handballs the teammate.
15.3.2 Incorrect Disposal and Payment of Free Kick
When the teammate is in play, a Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player who hands the teammate to another Player or throws the teammate
So there we have it folks - it is against the rules to throw a teammate
