Can somebody please answer following queries:
Whether it is okay to present the duration of tasks in days vs. part of days (e.g. 0.2 days for certain tasks)? Whether project schedule will be okay?
Whether it will be okay to use lead of 1 day for two activities that are having duration for 1 day each and FS relationship? I tried to do that but it appear that both the activities are ending on the same day?

Yes, durations can be entered in any mix of units (minutes, hours, days, weeks or months). Underneath the hood, duration is stored in minutes.

That is correct. Let's say Task 1 has a duration of 1 day and Task 2 has a predecessor of "1FS-1d", or in other words, Task 2 starts 1 day before Task 1 finishes. Since Task 1 only takes 1 day, Task 2 starts on the same day and since they have the same duration, they finish on the same day.
