Is this harmful or dangerous?
Does that head gasket repair stuff you can buy almost everywhere work at all or is it too risky. I have a small coolant leak near the front of the passenger side head under the intake manifold right at the head gasket. I'm just wondering if it's worth trying or is it potentially harmful and I should just suck it up and put it in the shop or fix it myself?

You should probably just suck it up and fix it yourself. If you are dead set on trying to seal it, use some stuff called (I haven't bout it for years so forgive me if I'm wrong) K & M or K & W Head Sealer. Comes in a can about the size of a soda. I've used it before and it has worked. But plan on plugging off the heater core before you use it.

I concur better to bite the bullet and do a proper fix.

Are your manifold gaskets worn or leaking? Try replacing those. Might as well do them both. You could just replace the one that's leaking, but why leave an old one that's just as susceptible to leak. Saves time and money in the future.
