Unless you live in a fully authoritarian state, there shouldn't be a reason to be investigated for using Tor. Being put on a list is a different matter, but voicing your opinions online might also get you there. If not now, in a possible, not far away grim future.
Tor Browser is a great idea, and would be more usable on a daily basis if it'd block ads by default as well.
1. Maybe some of our Chinese peers can chime in. In such circumstances you need to take a step further and use bridges to connect to the Tor network to better circumvent restrictions. As far of deep packet inspection I'm not aware of the state of the art in China, and if it's possible to evade detection.
2. Download it from a public wifi with no cameras in sight?

With modern data collection and “AI” tools that use correlation to give you a risk score, even having similar characteristics or interests of targeted people is probably enough to get you on a list, even if you attempt to have “good” behavior at all times. Reducing identifiable data might actually avoid some lists even if it puts you on others. (Besides, the number of people on one “list” or another is already so out of control that I imagine they are becoming useless. Join us, make the lists just a little more unmanageable.)
