You would be able to play the electric violin just fine with Acoustic Violin skills. The only thing is that the electric violin might take some getting used to as it has a different fell from the acoustic.
First you would have to actually buy a violin to see what it sounds like.
Then you would also have to buy an electric one.
Then you compare and contrast.
Theres your answer!

No. Electric are heavier and you don't have to worry about producing sound (due to it being amplified). And some electric ones have frets.
Same way as you play an 4 or 5 string fiddle
Simple. The answer is a violin or fiddle. The violin is a hard and a challenging instrument to play but as soon as you learned how to play it, you will realized it is the best instrument to play.
A violin is hollow. The hollowness of the violin allows it to make sound; a solid violin will not play unless it is electric. If you look inside the f-holes on a violin you can see the inner wood of the violin.

no.....it sounds more electric. That's like asking if an electrical guitar sounds like an acoustic. absolutly not! The regular violin can have more of a mellow, natural sound. With the electric violin you can get more of a modern sound. The electric violin is usually used in fiddle/bluegrass music. The regular violin is used in classical performances and orchestras. I personally do not play a electric violin because they sound so different. But you can get them in different disigns, colors, and sometimes you can change the sounds on them.
electric guitar, electric bass, drums, and vocals.
Electric violins can play the same sheet music as an acoustic violin.
Not necessarily, although a strong foundation on the traditional instrument will give you a head start on the electric one.
The first electric violin was 'born' in the 1920's

Electric violins need amplifiers to play loud enough for any orchestra. So, if you play in an orchestra, I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes.
It depends on your electric violin. A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin. A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
