No, you cannot. You can only drive if your a on visit visa. You need to change your UAE license for a Bahraini one, below is the process

Officially you cannot sure. However; I do not think that any police officer who is seeing UAE driving licence will create problem for first time.

Anyway, it is too easy to convert your license to Bahraini. Don't delay it bro.

You should be able to change it at the traffic directorate, i am not sure about the 1year clause you can verify at the same place.

No. Only on visit visa. To be honest, no one checks until there is an accident - and that is when you will be in trouble.

Second, you can rent car on it but to buy one, you might be asked to produce Bahrain license - as an expat.
