The father guinea pig doesn't eat the babies, and neither does the mother. But always separate the father BEFORE the mother gives birth as she can become pregnant immediately after giving birth. This would be bad for her health, as her body needs some time to recover.
Yes, she will. My gp only had one baby (maybe more if she did eat them :O that would be so sad...) but I read about them a lot before, and apparently you have to be really careful about that. So make sure you're home when she is due!
If your worried about the dad eating them, that isn't a problem. However, make sure the female is separated before birth! She can get pregnant again within hours, which is very hard on a guinea pig. The babies also should be sexed and placed in appropriate cages around 21 days old, as at that time they can be sexually mature.
not always there can be something wrong with your babies or it is normal (if you are not sure go to the vets)
Not unless they are ugly and a shame to the family.
No, father guinea pigs don't eat baby guinea pigs. But they can make the mother pregnant again straight away, so the father should be taken out before the mother has her babies.
