No, the IRS will get to keep it. And, even if you could get it back, the bankruptcy trustee would probably take it to distribute to your creditors.

I think it depends on when the bankruptcy is discharged, but it would be discussed at your meeting with the creditors and the trustee. If it wasn't discussed, then the refund is yours.
If you are delinquent in your student loans to the point where your refunds are being intercepted, they can take the entire refund until the debt is satisfied.
It depends on the courts. I had a friend who went through bankruptcy and was owed a refund from the IRS. The trustee for the bankruptcy ordered her to turn over the refund to the courts to be paid out to creditors. So it could happen, but they cannot actually intercept or offset your refund. They will just order you to pay it to the trustee.

Yes, if you already have a payment arrangement with the IRS but have a refund due, they will take the refund. If you have a balance due, they will apply your tax refund to this balance.
No. The IRS can only offset your refund if they have already made an assessment against you.

Yes, unfortunately.
Yes if you owe the IRS money your tax refund will be offset, and usually if they are aware that you owe them money, they will offset it immediately.
