Is FDM safer to use indoors than resin printers?

I’d say yes. Less fumes and no liquids that can spill.

Are 3D printers safe to leave running for the hours when I’m at work?

3D printers should never run unattended. You can mitigate that risk with setups that let you keep an eye on your print via the web.

Can FDM do decent quality minatures, or would be limited to terrain production?

AFAIK FDM has gotten way better but consensus is: resin (for the moment) is better than FDM.

But I only talk from a theoretical position with keeping an eye on “the news”. People with practice sure have more and deeper insights.
