Was there a device for the dorsal turret to prevent it from shooting the tail off? Including the earlier models with the turret further aft.

I am no expert, but I believe there was an internal mechanism that would not allow rounds to be fired if they would strike some other part of the aircraft. I stand to be corrected however.

Yes on all turrets. On some turrets is was really basic and caused the gun to rise up or move sideways so that it could not hit the airframe and on others cut the electric or pneumatic circuit to the gun when pointed at structure.
