(Are the four sentences all grammaticall? In #5, did the two actions happen at the same time or not? Does #5 mean #6?)

Answer 1

Yes, 1 and 2 mean approximately the same thing.

3 - 6 mean the same thing, yes, and there are two actions happening at the same time. Sentence 6, however, is wordy. You don't need the words "at the same time." The meaning is clear without them.
