Growler Conditioning Homebrewing

I've seen this question a few times and it's been answered a few times, but I feel like there a few different possibilities when you're talking about growlers. For my particular growler I have the standard 64oz glass growler bought from homebrewing.org. I did get the polyseal caps with the growlers with the intent of bottle priming inside them.

 

My situation: I bottled some porter 2 weeks ago some in some regular 12 oz bottles and some into said growlers. I've been tasting the bottled daily and it's maturing at a decent rate. I poured some from my growler and it doesn't seem that it's as carbonated as the bottled porter. This sparks a few questions for me:

1. Regardless of this time, I'm a taking a large risk with priming inside of growlers? Did I just get lucky and not have giant growler bombs, or since I'm using the polyseal I'm likely safe(r) ?
2. Does using growlers for priming pose any additional risk for oxidation?
3. Do growlers carb the beer slower, because of the additional volume or does it not matter as long as you mixed the priming sugar up completely?
4. If I drink the growler beer slower, does that increase the risk for oxidation? Or will the CO2 remain hovering above the beer inside the growler?
5. Should I just move to kegging :/ (if yes please point me to some cheap options, it's where I want to be eventually but wanted to get several brews under my belt before going all out)

 

As always, /r/Homebrewing you rock!

 

Edit: I see a few are recommending moving to kegging. Minor caveats:

1. I brew 1.5 gallon batches because I wasn't able to drink 5 gallons of beer everytime or at least am not able to drink as much beer quick enough as I want to brew.
2. I bought growlers thinking it would be easier to bottle the 1.5 gallons into 3 of those, but am now realizing that jus means I have to drink an entire growler anytime I want to have some.
3. I don't have the space in the refrigerator to keep a keg cold 24/7. Eventually I will buy or build a keezer but that's just not able to be done right now.
