Try turning off the water at the main. Turn on all of the faucets in the house and let them drain. Turn the main back on. Might be some air in the line.
Loose washer
No, if the current faucet doesn't have a sprayer, there is no place on the faucet to attach the sprayer. It would attach on the underneath side of the faucet in the center.
Depends on the type already installed
A little bit of water may seep into the basement.
My guess is your garbage disposer was also replaced and they forgot to knock out the plug before connecting the disposer hose/drain It sounds like you have a vacuum breaker on the drain for the dish washer. This is probably just a coincidence but your vacuum breaker needs to be replaced or repaired. It really has nothing to do with the faucet installation.
Bathroom faucets are installed by pushing the faucet into the hole left by the old faucet. Before doing this, you'll probably want to apply plumber's tape or joint compound on the threads of the faucet stems and also apply caulk. Then you connect your water supply lines to the faucet stems and apply more plumber's tape to the shutoff valve threads. The last step is to tighten the coupling nuts to the faucet supply stems, taking care not to overtighten.
Installed incorrectly, or cheap/faulty faucet
Turn the water off to the faucet. Remove the handle. The top of the faucet should unscrew to get to the ball valve. Replace the valve and gaskets then reassemble the faucet.

no, you do not need a new faucet spacer, just keep the old one, and keep your fingers crossed.
Check to see if your faucet has an aerator installed. I had similar problems which were solved after I installed one.
The valves were installed improperly.
