If you get a high flow intake you will get a nice sound from the turbo and a slight high end performance gain. If the "traction off" light does not come on when you press the traction button then either your indicator bulb is dead (more likely or else the "traction off" light would be on if system was malfunctioning - ABS module) or your car doesn't have the option. Could also be that the button is not connected to the harness?? Pull the button out of the cluster and check the connection. Thats my 2 cents.

Yes. The ABS module behind your intake often needs to be replaced. In the US, Midwest ABS offers well priced rebuilt modules for Volvos. I am sure there are other companies in your region that sell rebuilt abs modules instead of paying for a brand new one.

I have a Eurosport intake but other companies like IPD and BSR also sell there own versions. I like the large filter setup on the BSR intake, too bad I found it after I bought mine..

I don't think they will "break" your engine. Unless you don't maintain the filter as you would with any other filter. It really doesn't make that much difference on stock motor setups, just a little high end acceleration gain and awesome sounds from the turbo :-)
