Whilst this is against the Community Spirit, soliciting for Trust Points does not warrant a warning or banning.
WikiAnswers uses trust points to distinguish trustworthy, good contributors from others. Answers from contributors with lots of trust points are often well-written and helpful.
No. Trust points are an indication of how trustworthy the contributions of the contributors of the website are. Higher the trust points, the more trustworthy the contributor is.
Many contributors have zero trust points, so it would be very tedious to find and list them all.

If it is truly a good answer you do not have to ask for trust points. No. Asking for trust points is not allowed; they are given voluntarily by others, and should not be solicited.
Nothing really. If you truly deserve them, supervisors and contributors will recognize you!

Other registered contributors who like your contributions and think they are helpful. You are unable to find out who gives you the Trust Points, unless they message you to say so.
Trust points are given by the Readers of your answers. Each member can recommend a contributor once. Answers are counted as contributions.
Currently, the WikiAnswers system of trust points hasn't changed - you can only add trust points, and you can only recommend from a question the user has answered by going to the contributors tab and clicking "recommend".
Trust points are given by users to users. If a user finds an answer helpful then the poster of the answer enjoys seeing that they were helpful by receiving trust points from other users clicking the [recommend contributor] link.
