I'm wondering if there are any potential problems with starting car and moving car off ramps within 5 minutes with low engine oil level. Probably 1 1/2 quart low.
Added about 4.75 to 5 quartz before starting car but car holds 6.5 quartz. Totally forgot that oil filter sucks oil and realized that when checked oil level again when car was off my ramps on level ground, the reading of dipstick was on the very low, way below the min mark.

You'll be fine. A couple qts low for a few minutes won't hurt anything.

No, you didn't cause any harm.

Should be okay. My owner's manual says not to add oil unless it gets to or under the minimum mark. The 4.2 holds 8 qts with the filter. I normally leak/ consume a quart between oil changes.

Thank you for the answers. It really gave me peace of mind, I was a little worried for starting car with that low oil level.
