Add fresh oil after kerosene has drained out. QUESTION: Will the residual kerosene harm the engine by doing this?


Likely won't do any good. The kerosene will just make a beeline for the drain opening and be gone. To do any good, it has to slosh around in the engine awhile. And while many engines have been flushed (supposedly) with kerosene or Diesel fuel and survived, I don't want my engine's oil diluted with a non-lubricant!
