PD emailing???

It's hard to know for sure. The best advice is to not adjust your own rank list based on anything other than where you would like to go. How a program ranks you and how you rank them should be two completely independent events.
That being said... at my program (and probably many others), if you receive an email, that means we liked you and you are "ranked to match." In other words, based on the rank order lists from prior years, you will match at our program if you ranked us #1.

Truth. No use in adjusting your rank list based on "recruiting." Order programs the way you want. You never know - just because your #1 may not have emailed you does not mean you aren't ranked to match.
Should you reply to these? Does it matter? I'm guessing probably not, I received a few but I haven't replied.
I responded to the ones addressed/personalized specifically to me otherwise no. I figured just common courtesy more than "wow here's my chance to move up on the list."

This.
Nothing is for certain until match day, even if they send you an email telling you that they are pretty sure that you do, in fact, walk on water. When I interviewed, I answered emails sent directly to me, left alone those that weren't, and that was that.
Don't get too absorbed in the gamesmanship. Rank programs based on what you truly want and let the NRMP do the rest.
If you get an email from your number 1, I would recommend only ranking that program and deleting the rest of your rank list.
That should work out well.
