It is possible, but such a substitution is not always a great idea as tomato paste has a much more concentrated, stronger flavor and has less moisture. So the recipe with the replacement of tomato sauce will be more liquidy and have less of a tomato flavor to it.

Yes, I do it all the time to make a dish richer, but you have to add a liquid to the dish since the paste is much thicker than the sauce. I usually add a red wine if it is a main dish, but water or a broth would work just as well.

Actually, you can. It will make a thicker, richer flavor. However, I suggest you temper the thickness. Perhaps par-boil the rice with the meat renderings, or chicken broth, if you prefer a lower fat option.

no, they are two different things. Tomato sauce is usually cooked tomato pulp and simmered several hours until thickened. Tomato Juice is squeezed from raw tomatoes then cooked for a short time, comparatively, incorporating more of the tomato, often adding spices, or other vegetables.

Tomato sauce is usually much thicker than tomato juice. It might be possible depending on exactly what you're doing with it ... if you're boiling down the tomato juice anyway to make it thicker, then it should work (you'll want to use a smaller amount of sauce than you would have of the juice).

That is a matter of personal taste, Tomato paste is condensed tomato sauce so its purpose in a sauce would be to thicken what you already have without spending the time to cook it down. I use one large can of tomato sauce and one small, one small can of stewed tomatoes ( use potato masher on them to reduce the big chunks) one can of tomato paste, one can of mushrooms ( I like them ) a package of schilling tomato sauce seasoning, and about 6 cut up cooked hot Italian sausage.
