There is absolutely no problem, however if you are cautious i recommend taking following measures to ensure good transplanting.

Transplant on cloudy days which are fortunately approaching on this weekend(otherwise you can place pots in shade after transplant for few days).
Pinch plant back, remove all flowers/buds.
Break the pot. Loosen up the soil and attempt to keep some soil intact with each seedling.
No worries....However if you don't separate. Three four blooms per plant and they are history in a jiffy.....

That might be possible but you probably still should space them in the larger pot. One petunia can very easily fill a 10 inch pot.

Absolutely lovely flowers... for the petunias, if this condition was in the month of Dec then separation would have made a difference but as far as i know Shiekhupura's weather, its only one month left in the arrival of heat.. so i would suggest to just thin them out or start giving them liquid fertilizers with every watering... they are heavy feeders and all the things said by Farhan and Aykhan are true for them..
