Can a gas stove be moved to stand next to a kitchen sink without any gaps in between?

I am renting an apartment in which the 2nd floor kitchen has an old farmhouse sink on the left, a 5″ gap or so of space, then the gas stove. I wanted to move the gas stove so that there is no space in between the sink and stove. I want to place a workspace cabinet on the otherside of the stove.

1) Are there any safety concerns in having the gas stove moved to touch the side of the sink cabinet?
The sink cabinet is metal. I don’t know why the stove is not directly sitting next to the sink but somebody thought it would be the place for installing an old metal towel rack on the side of the sink cabinet.
2) Can I move the stove myself or do I have to hire someone who is experienced in working with gas appliances?
3) What do I have to do to prepare the stove before I move it over those few inches?
4) Is it safe to have a painted wooden cabinet sit on the otherside of the gas stove? I don’t use the oven, just the gas burners on top.
THANKS!
