It does not automatically convert to a mutual fund. You would need to sell VTI and buy VTSAX. I would not do that if you have gains and this is in a taxable account.
No it stays an ETF, the mutual fund is a completely different security/investment. You can DCA at any amount if your brokerage allows fractional share purchases, otherwise you can’t.
An etf is not a mutual fund.

If your VTI shares are held in a Vanguard account, you may call Vanguard and they’ll convert the shares to VTSAX without tax consequences.
I think you can only convert the other way. I don’t believe you can etf to mutual fund
ETFs trade similar to stocks and you’ll almost always need to purchase a full share. From my experience and knowledge I’ve never seen an ETF convert to a mutual fund, so you’d need to decide which route you want to go in the beginning — or cash out of one and purchase the other later down the line
Like EY1 said, if you want the mutual fund and to DCA at any dollar amount, then you’d need to sell VTI and purchase VTSAX.
