Okay so just opened my note 4 and LOVE it so far - although there a few things I'm stuck with lol, charger wise should I just only use the fast charger? (Only one in box) or should I get another one? Is it safe to use my old iPhone socket?
 
Traditional USB chargers are a constant 5V supply with variable current. If you connect to a charger with a lower current supply, it'll just take longer to charge (providing that you don't have more running and draining the battery than the charger provides - not terribly common but it happens).

Charging from an iPhone charger socket would be the same current as charging from your PC USB port - .5 A, or about a quarter of what a standard 2A charger provides.

Fast charging (2.0 in the case of your device) ups the game by upping the voltage.

It's fine to use any USB charger with a standard charger, or the quick charging setup.
