It depends on what they are notarizing for, if your signature? Then you better be there to sign the documents and prove you are who you say you are. They don't have to stamp and seal "in front" of you, but they had to see you sign and proof of ID. But if they are notarizing for something else, then it might not need to be done in front of you, or even with you there. It could be done a different day and sent to you in the mail for some type of judgment or other decree and been stamped and sealed for a legal testament.

Notaries do not notarize documents. They notarize signatures, and they are only permitted in the state by which they are licensed. It does not matter what the document is. If the document is signed in Pennsylvania in the presence of a Pennsylvania notary, that notary can notarize the signature. If the document is signed in any other state, or outside of the presence of the notary, the notary cannot notarize the signature.
No. There is no state where you can notarize your own documents.
Being able to notarize a document has no relationship to whether or not someone is married. If you are properly authorized to notarize documents, and you follow proper procedure for confirming the signatures on the documents in question, then you can notarize the will, if not, you cannot.
