Yes absaloutely, I have that at home. It's great!
Not really. There will be some bullying in the tank if the gourami is bigger than the dwarf gourami. Usually the dwarf will be left lone but there is usually fin nipping.
Platys and black skirt tetras can live together. Harlequin rasboras, platys, and guppies are smaller than black skirt tetras and would do well together. However, the black skirts nip at fins, so if you have fancy tail guppies it is not recomended to put them in a smaller tank together.
Platys give live birth.

Yes, platys are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that that would be okay. But don't even think about putting the tetras or gouramis in before the tank has cycled.I would put tons of live plant in the tank, too.
Mickey Mouse Platys don't lay eggs. They give birth to live fish.

I would advise not to add a dwarf gourami with a honey dwarf gourami. The honey gourami is very shy and much smaller than the dwarf gourami, and the dwarf gourami is prone to being very agressive. Depending on your luck, you might get a gourami with a nicer temperment. I wouldn't suggest it though.
No, They need oxygen in the water to live, and space to swim around.
