I’m sure it would be quite rare to fight in a clean-room where such a tactic would be necessary, but not to worry… even in conditions free from dirt and dust, you can still get several hits in by converting your ordinary EDC PocketSand™ into earth-shot.
If we’re talking fullmetal alchemist rules, it’s pretty clear that transmutation doesn’t change the atomic make-up of a thing. Just the chemical bonds and intermolecular forces, combined with moving the bits around following a formula. However, you could turn fat into a hydrogen-propelled diamond bullet.
Absolutely, and it is stated in FMA that that activation energy is theoretically derived from tectonic potential energy, somehow (although, of course, that turned out to be a convenient lie, in-canon)
Considering e = mc^2, creating a small pebble would probably drain you dead.

I was hoping the fat would be considered equalivelent exchange for equal mass.

Bonds take energy to break and make. Some is released when they break. And those forces take energy to overcome.
