twelve jurors sit in the jury box with one extra person on the side in case someone doesn't show up!
Many reasons: Some people just don't like to sit 'in judgement' of others. Some believe that their personal business or work is more important than jury duty - some believe that it does not "pay" enough - Etc.

(in the US) Of course, it happens all the time. That is what is meant by "a jury of your peers."
Sometimes 6 and sometimes 12.
Jury trials are available at all levels of the court EXCEPT Appeals Court and Supreme Court levels.
If you are asking about jury duty, yes. If you show up at court on the date/time indicated on your jury summons, you get paid even if you are not selected to sit on a jury.
Normal citizens of the US are selected at random to serve on Jury panels throughout the year. Jury service usually requires one day unless you are selected to sit in on a trial. You may opt out of Jury service once you reach the age of 75.
"Please sit down in your jury box seat", said the judge to the juror.
