  will using engine braking more often harm the engine? is it better to slow down using the brakes or engine braking?

  is there any difference in the engine braking between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke?
  
  which one has the stronger braking?

  Bigger CC bikes have bigger engine braking. Yes, if rpm too high engine braking will siong engine... try to below 5000rpm then slowly release clutch. Don throw clutch.
