Sand it down and repaint I would think would be the way to go.
Isaac R. Johnson is not the inventor of the bicycle frame. He is a person who decided to patent the frame in 1899.
Well, you need a structure to stick the rider on, and the wheels and parts in, and that's what the bicycle frame provides.
From $100 to $2000, depending on the frame.
You can't adjust a frame
A bicycle. A bicycle with the wheels removed, but everything else it needs attached, is a frame set with gruppo. And just the frame and fork make up a frame set.

The frame is the heart of the bicycle, and you only need one frame for one bike. Components can often be moved over to another frame, but unless that frame is exactly the same as the previous one this will make it a new bike.
There's no telling. Unless it's amazingly sucky it should be available in several frame sizes.
The frame is needed to hold the different parts together to form a rideable vehicle.
Sure. A steel frame that begins to rust will be undergoing a chemical change.
Unless it's been de-badged and/or repainted, it should be a sticker with the brand name on the frame somewhere.
