Can't provide definitive answers for the current version, but in older versions the answers would be as follows (and they're unlikely to have changed):

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. No.
5.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Caravans can't go over pressure plates at all, I think, since they're a type of trap.

Wagons can't go over trap, but the guards, merchants, and pack animals can walk on them.
