Fuse is used to restrict the flow of current to the tube when it is supplied with very high voltage. Due to high voltage the tube may burst and even the electrical apparatus goes malfunctioning. Hence a resistor is used in the name of FUSE in the fluorescent lamp to prevent this sudden loss of the apparatus.

A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
No. Starter comes in the circuit initially and then cuts off once the tube is on. If you use the switch, it wont be cut off automatically. If you want to use the switch manually then it technically possible to do so
The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.
Yes, fluorescent lamps may be powered by DC but they need a DC lamp controller instead of an AC ballast and starter. The DC lamp controller is more complex. I have a 12V lantern with fluorescent lamp tubes.
six main component of fluorescent tube light
A four tube fluorescent luminaire is just 4 separate fluorescent lamp circuits in one fitting. Look up 'how things work' etc to see a fluorescent lamp circuit.
You can use a wire instead of the starter to test the tubes .. I did it, it works !

when the tube ends blacken after failure of the tube heaters
Fuses are not rated in wattage, they are rated in amperage and voltage.
If it's fluorescent, no.
Usually it's mercury vapor.
