It's the same will all forks of all cryptocurrencies. You should keep your coins in a wallet where you control your seed and/or private keys. Like this you should have both versions of the coin after the forks.
True words! For my advice, move all of it to Hardware wallets or recommended wallets now. You may use MEW as you can control your wallet via private keys. However, It's just a network upgrade there no new coin split so don't panic, just leave your eth where you have it now.

it really depends on the fork. it always is. not just this fork but any other fork of altcoins.
if the fork happens easily without any issues, like other forks of ETH, it doesn't matter where you put your coins, in the end there will be an "upgraded" ETH and only one chain!
but if the fork happens like last fork (ETH/ETC) then i am sure their developers will fail to implement replay protection once again and you will lose your money no matter if you do it or hold it on exchanges. like last time. but in any case if you control your private keys (like having your coins in your desktop wallet) you can control what happens to you.

As always, I've poor idea about this. I’ll just keep my small amount on the exchange platform. or it doesn't matter where you store them during the fork?
